pritchart/hunter canyon run
the best singletrack i found in moab was on my pritchart to hunter canyon run i did on fri 2/2/06. the way out pritchart is entertaining and nice, but it's doubletrack. karl had told me about this run and i was happy with the first half for sure. but once it got on the hunter canyon section i was blown away! so sweet, totally alone on this epic singletrack right next to this big cut out hole in the earth. other than the ice i had to descend at the end and the 2 miles of dirt road to run to finish it was an amazing 12 miles.
deets: take a right before mcdonalds on kane creek road to pritchart canyon. run out and over the saddle then pay attention at the next intersection and you will see a sign for hunter. follow that beautiful singletrack until it drops you down to the road and run a couple miles uphill back to the parking lot. sweet!

Hey Matt, ya these pics are a bit different then "FLAT ASS" Florida where I live--lol
That area looks sweeeeet, talk about keeping your mind off the run and just soak up the beauty!!
I am going to do a 50 miler in Sept.in the Teton Mountains RaceDetails
So I need to simulate hills, I have to run bridges and soon I will DRAG a Tire around (tire pull) ahhhh the price you have to pay to live by the beach--lol
Good luck with the Big Horn 100 miler!! going to be a nice TEST for ya :-)
I am loving that "Recover-Ease, I can tell already, I will keep you posted more as my runs get longer & more intense but so far I can tell my legs r feeling better the next day with that stuff...just got some new shoes too,( I was getting some blisters so this week should be strong!
Ciao,

That canyon looks a lot nicer in the winter than in the summer. Stay hydrated.
