Run / Hike hills (Walk / Jog) 3:08:59 [3] ** 5.75 mi (32:52 / mi) +3281ft 21:20 / mi
slept:8.0 weight:124lbs
Everything about this hike was fun, except that I was really stressed about getting back to my car before dark. It was almost pitch-black by the time I got back -- and every shadow, bush, rock, and tree stump looked like a bear or mountain lion (both of which are not uncommon in that area). I felt really stupid for underestimating the time required and getting myself in that situation...
But otherwise it was really fun, and a beautiful area. I hiked up Fern Canyon to Bear Peak (8,461'), then down via Shadow Canyon & the Mesa Trail.
Next time, I'll start a wee bit earlier than 6pm. ;-)

Note
After getting back from the airport at midnight yesterday, I couldn't muster the motivation to get up early and get myself to Laramie for the training meets up there. I had planned to be there today and tomorrow; maybe that was too ambitious. But I'm disappointed to have to miss it...
