Typical trail from the Townsite Aid station.
After a little bit, the trail goes into the trees
These trails are used by mountain bikers, so there are some bike obstacles to go over.
The trail also crosses several ski runs.
Don't follow the arrow. Make a right!
There is old flagging on the ski hill. Only follow the orange!
Near the top, there is still some snow. Almost all of it will be gone next weekend.
Getting close to the top.
Amaya did an awesome job with placing the flagging.
Veiw of town and the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
Snack break
Approaching the top of the Lone Spruce chair lift.
Veiw of Caballo Mountain (one with the meadow on the right). The 50k and 50 mile races go to the top of it.
Once you get to the top you drop around the backside of the mountain.
Veiw to the South.
Follow the Logging Road.
Traversing along the back side of the mountain to the top of Pajarito Mountain.
The trail cuts off the road and into the trees here.
Another turn off the road.
The final stretch to the top.
Looking into the Caldara and the top of Cerro Grande.
Drop down Oops.
This section is quite steep.
At the bottom of Oops, the course turns right and follows this trail over to the Aspen run.
Still a couple of big snow drifts. Most of this will probably melt by next weekend.
The course goes left off the main trail and then follows Bruce's Blvd across the mountain.
The last uphill to the Aspen run.
Getting ready to drop down Aspen.
Aspen run. The course drops straight down this run and goes to the ski lodge aid station. You can see the lodge in this picture.
Just follow the trail down.
