I tried to do some trail running on Mount Rose today. It was more like a sweaty uphill hike followed by a fun downhill jog. I went clockwise around the loop and made it back to the trailhead in about 2 hrs, 20 mins.
Some miscellaneous notes:
- It was a warm day, and the TH parking lot was full when I arrived around 11:30. I think it was a combination of hikers and folks looking for access to Lake Cushman. I parked a little ways up the road toward Big Creek.
- The beargrass was beautiful!
- I think of this hike as a slog, but it also has great views across the lake, especially the last couple hundred vertical feet of hiking before the top.
