    Running

    The Missouri Gulch Trail section above treeline is engulfed in a riparian environment of reeds, willows, and other alpine plants. It travels into a high alpine basin where there is a seasonal pool of water. This pool is fed by snowmelt from Mount Belford and Missouri Mountain, and it flows down Missouri Gulch towards Clear Creek, making it pretty marshy in the basin in the spring.

    The grade actually lessens here at treeline, and running is momentarily possible before you hit the screen slopes headed up towards Missouri Mountain.
