Way To Go Bonnie!

6/1/2014

We are so proud of own Bonnie Northrup. She had a personal goal of hiking all six trails to the lodge in one day, and she did it. Her official hiking time was 19:35. She and her loving husband, John Northrup, started at 3:30 in the morning hiking up Brushy Mountain trail and finished hiking down Alum Cave trail. This was John's third time hiking all of the trails in one day. He was "just along for the support".

It was a good day for a long hike. It ended up being partly cloudy with a few showers here and there. The high was 62º with a low of 48º. We are currently under heavy cloud coverage.

Way to go, awesome Bonnie! We are so proud of you. Never a doubt in our minds that you wouldn't meet your goal. Glad you had your support-escort with you. Rest, rest, rest today.

Thanks everyone! We couldn't have done it without all the help and encouragement we got from everyone at the lodge! Our total mileage was 45 miles. Trail order was up Brushy, down trillium, up Rainbow, down Bullhead, up Boulevard, and down Alum.

Congrats on achieving your awe inspiring goal. Curious, did you hike or run the trails?

I am very impressed, if my math is correct, you averaged 25 minute miles. I would love to attempt that awesome feat, but I'm afraid my old legs wouldn't hold out. You should be very proud of yourself.
