Love it! Beautiful colors and trails! Cool to see Joe, Seth, and all the other runners on the Ascent too. Great job out there!

Hey, great video. I have hiked and run Barr trail countless times, where do you catch the trailhead for the trial you came in on?

Not sure I want to publicize the trails specifically but you'll want to study the options along the Highway 24 corridor to figure out how we got in!
