"The most exquisite piece of ultra torture I've ever been on"
"The course was well-marked and astoundingly beautiful! I did not expect it to be that gorgeous! The views were so beautiful that I even truly enjoyed the hardest climbs! The views of Palisades Reservoir, wildflowers, waterfalls, creeks and brooks, alpine meadows, trees, peaks...the whole run was breathtaking. I've never truly enjoyed a run so much before...."
