    Running

    Just running as far as this saddle is no joke! If you want to keep going up either of the peaks that bracket the saddle, the hard work starts from here as you tackle continuous, steep inclines and sometimes slightly loose footing to get up there.

    However, it's worth taking a second to enjoy the views from here. This saddle marks the boundary of the winter ski area, so there's a steep dropoff to the other side that produces some wonderful views.
