CO front range fitness: Mt Morrison ed.

Cool to see this one getting some traction! I gotta get down there - it’s just a bit of a drive out of my way that I have squeeze in. Been getting some other good training hikes in closer to me though - a bit odd to repeat but since you are all in the area I will share anyway.

Where are these ones? I can’t tell from the pics.

I guess it’s not apparent is it! They are around the flatirons, green, Bear and such. And one at rabbit mountain

Enjoy your training guys, great idea. If I was closer I’d be there!

I do have a hill close to me for training, it’s 450m vert and 6kms so similar and good for hunt training.

How’d it go? I have wanted to go sub 30min on that badly but haven’t quite made it happen. If I don’t soon I probably never will!

Thats a lofty goal for me, trying to break 40 still. 42 this time, but hey they still claim average ascent is 1-3 hours!

42 isn’t slow. I got 32:34 last year with a pretty light pack - we were hiking to the top that day. But my vo2 max isn’t likely to get much better with age!
