We’ll meet at the pullout on 89A for the regular Yaeger Canyon loop, but our route will be a little bit different. Expect 11-12 miles with a little over 2,000’ of climbing. We’ll make our way up to Mingus Camp just past the lake, and then go to 2 of my favorite spots on the mountain- the hang gliding launch site and the Mingus fire tower, before looping back down the mountain via the Gaddes Canyon and Little Yaeger Canyon trails. I’m expecting this to take 3 to 3-1/2 hours, depending on how much time we stop. Bring your climbing legs for this one!

When you reach a five way intersection, turn right onto Wells Fargo Road. When Wells Fargo road turns north, look on your right for a small, hidden dirt road (the trailhead sign is tough to spot).

Join us for the last training run leading up to the Mingus Madness 50k. This will be an out and back run of the entire Woodchute 102 trail, down to where it ends at Forest Road 318A (where the second aid station is). This is a rough trail, so being able to scout it ahead of time should be very valuable! We’ll also be hitting my off trail “secret spot” on the mountain before making the big descent, which is also part of the course. Expect 13 miles and about 3,300’ of climbing and descending.
