Fun run with Siri south of campus. Finally got through to my textbook publisher and had the opportunity to drop another $190 on online textbook access for a class! Love that!

Incredibly windy! The smoke has cleared substantially, so there were blue skies, but when the wind came ripping through, there was so much dust near the ground that town looked pretty gnarly again.

Sourdough with Siri. Again with the nose-breathing, which really puts a limit on how quickly you can move. The smoke is slightly better, but not by much.

Hiking 3:57:58 [1] 6.21 mi (38:19 / mi) +752m 27:51 / mi
On the drive back from my run with Siri, Matt called me, told me he was going skiing today, asked if I wanted to pick up an extra shift, and then told me to think about it for a minute while he quickly answered a call from his boss.
*eye roll* WHY WOULD I WANT TO WORK IF I COULD SKI??!
I told him that skiing sounded like much more fun than working and if he needed a partner I’d go skiing with him. So, I went skiing today.
We hiked up to The Laser / The Ribbon (apparently the original name is the laser, but it was renamed the ribbon) on the NW side of Elephant. Left the trail when the snow was visible and shuffled up some scree to the bottom of the snow, where we ditched the packs, put on boots, and boot packed up the snow with skis over our shoulders. The skiing was maybe 200ft of vert, but we did it twice, and it was actually pretty steep and fun. The narrowest part required 3+ hop turns to get through. This would be really fun earlier in the season (June?). Waded in Blackmore lake to cool off on the way back down. The lake is maybe 2ft deep at its deepest, so it was a really pleasant relaxing temperature. For a ski trip, there was not a whole lot of snow, and not a whole lot of skiing, but it was a fun adventure. Saw some mountain bikers summit Blackmore, and they passed us on the way down — looked fun!
Forgot to start my watch, so missing ~2 miles at the start

Gallatin County Regional Park exploration adventure run with Siri. We met a cute puppy named Mira who wasn’t sure why we were running, and a cute baby cow who wasn’t sure what to make of our heel-clicking jumps. It’s extremely smoky in the gallatin valley today, even worse than yesterday. Making out the top of Baldy was challenging from town. I’m not sure if running in this much smoke is healthy, but we tried our best to breathe through our noses on this.

*placeholder until garmin syncs*
Peet’s hill. It’s been super smoky since Wednesday, and today up on Peet’s I couldn’t see the tobacco roots or Spanish peaks, the hyalite peaks were difficult to make out, and even the northern Bridgers were a little bit hidden in the smoke. It’s a bummer that fires are hitting MT now, after a full summer without them.

Highland glen trails from home, with Siri. I took a pretty epic dive off my bike when I tried to do a little jump. My weight was too far forward, and my front wheel wasn’t straight enough, so I flew off my bike like Superman and landed pretty hard, knocking the wind out of me. But I wasn’t really hurt, so I rolled over quickly to get back up, just in time to see my bike falling out of the sky after me, landing on top of me. Unfortunately, Siri was ahead of me and missed seeing my comedic crash. I’m really hoping the runner who was up on the trail across the gully witnessed it.

Peet’s hill from home. Beautiful golden light shining over campus and onto the mountains. Spanish peaks were awesome-looking, and the Bridgers weren’t bad either. This is such a good evening/sunset run!

shoes: Brooks Cascadia 14 - black/red
Bridger Ridge trail, plus Pomp, Hardscrabble, and Ross, because if you're already doing the entire ridge you might as well climb all the mountains in the range!
Siri and I started off at 7:20am at Fairy Lake. Took about 40 minutes to get up to the pass, hit Pomp shortly after (headed down the east ridge from Pomp towards a cliff due to the clouds and low visibility before correcting back north), and we were on top of Hardscrabble at 9:00am. Sacagawea by 9:45; Naya Nuki not long after. We briefly attempted to stay on the ridge between Naya Nuki and Ross, but it looked rocky, sketchy, and slow, so we popped down to the trail on the west side.
We were making good time, and when the trail crossed the west ridge going up to Ross, we opted to head up there and cut off some extra elevation by not going all the way to Ross Pass before ascending. We weren't really sure what the best (doable) route was, but we made it up to the top by 12:30pm with minimal sketchy scrambling. Hardly any exposure, so it wasn't too bad. Stopped for snacks and photos at the top for a while, and we made some friends with a couple who were summitting just as we started leaving. Unfortunately, neither of us had looked up the route up/down the southern ridge, and we picked the wrong way down. There was some legitimate down-climbing on some legitimate (but small) rocky cliff sections, which was a little sketchy given our running shoes and lack of rope. I think we were down at Ross Pass by 2:30pm or so, making the entire Ross endeavor about a 3-hour detour.
We started slowing down considerably, but the rest of the hike/run was on trail on the top of the ridge. Popped off the trail a couple times to hit the actual tops of a few peaks, both named and unnamed. We were on top of Saddle at 5:30pm ish, and we ate PBH, cheez-its, and an orange for dinner.
Drank the last sips of water on Baldy, then trudged along for the last 5 miles down. I was pretty done by Baldy, and I think having another liter of water would have helped. Siri and I each had 2L, which we survived with, but more water would have been better. No water in the Bridgers to refill with. Hit the M trailhead at 8:50pm. All in all, it was a 13.5hr car-to-car trip. The drive back to the first car took 45 minutes.

Estimated not-tracked distance, with some time to get closer to the 13.5hrs (minus breaks). Calling this running because the other part is called hiking, and we did a good mix of both.

Story hills! Been a while since I’ve made it out here because the last two times I tried, the trail was closed for spraying of noxious weeds. This was toasty hot already. Should have headed out the door earlier in the morning.
