Following on the smashing success of last weeks pre-dawn run up City Creek Canyon to Ensign Peak, I thought I’d go for a repeat.\u00a0 This time I took the trail on the SE side of the canyon, following it to the East and up to both of the Avenue Twin Peaks.\u00a0 Aside from a dog who brushed against my leg and freaked me out, the run up was uneventful.\u00a0 On the way back, I followed the north ridgeline (which looks down into City Creek Canyon on the backside) as far as I could.\u00a0 I reached the end of the ridge at a knoll and the trail kind of just stopped.\u00a0 I thought I might be able to descend and find something down on the City Creek Canyon side.\u00a0 Mistake.\u00a0 I ended up bushwacking back SW until I hit a small gulch which I followed back up to the main trail system.<\/p>\n
