A Site for More Highs


As we embark on our (hopefully temporary) foray into trail running, I’ve found a great website that has helped us find and map some nice trail runs in our area: http://www.hikespeak.com/ (Hike Speak? or Hikes Peak? or Hike’s Peak?).

Thankfully the name is the only thing that’s confusing about the site.  The route maps are great, there are tons of pictures for every hike posted, directions to the often hard-to-find trailheads are very detailed, and the trail descriptions are pretty spot on.  And the Hike Finder slide rule search tool on the home page lets you search by distance and elevation change.

I’m sure I’ll find something wrong with the site eventually since my water bottle is always half empty.  But since I’ve proved adept at compiling hate lists for every occasion, I felt compelled to prove that every now and I can see that the bottle might be half full.
