Loop Two - 2007 Snow and Ice 100 |
|
 |
Loop Two Our second loop took us up and down Waterton Canyon We would have preferred to hike these easy miles at night, but hiking is not allowed in Waterton Canyon after dark |

1:12 PM; Mile 22 The team in Waterton Canyon As these easy miles wore on and paces varied, we spread out It was a beautiful afternoon for a stroll |
 |
2:56 PM; Mile 28 After a short stop below Strontia Springs Dam, we started back down Waterton Canyon As the afternoon shadows lengthened, the magnitude of the task we had set for ourselves began to sink in. We had already done more than a marathon, but were just getting warmed up. |
 |
4:33 PM; Mile 33 Once out of Waterton Canyon, we stopped at a Safeway for our first indoor break all day We were a third of the way, but our upcoming walk through the night loomed large Photo by Ulli |
 |
5:01 PM; Mile 34 After our break we got onto the road along the Highline Canal, and moved out in an effort to get back to our vehicles before dark We felt the dropping temperature and the sting of February’s still short days |
 |
5:08 PM; Mile 34.5 Chasing our own shadows, we descended back into Chatfield’s varied terrain |
 |
5:11 PM; Mile 34.7 Bill watches Fran make an expert leap to an uncertain landing |
