I did a nice workout today. I went up the ultra-steep Zig Zag Trail, and then down the NF9021 service road to the PTC trail, and back that way. About 7.5 miles.
Zig Zag gains about 1,300 feet in one mile, and that kind of grade definitely gets my attention.
It was a beautiful sunny day, summer in the PNW. Mid-70’s, plenty of sun.
I saw no one on the Zig Zag and no one on the service road until I had to step aside for a couple of vehicles chugging upward.
On the way back I stopped at the Mine Creek Trestle and looked south to see Chester Peak, still with a few patches of snow:
