    If you could teleport yourself to one of these (non specific) destinations to run a trail, which would it be.

      I picked the desert trail simply because I've never been there.

        I voted for the forest run with the high trees, but desert and mountain runs also sound intriguing.

        I just opted for the trees because there seems to be something mystical and magical to me about running through a deep, thick, tall forest, perhaps a creek trickling along somewhere... - Why does this remind me of a race called Hyner??

        Run for fun.

          Sorry guys, the ends of the descriptions got cut off.  Guess the space is limited

           

          1.) mountains as the backdrop

          2.) through alongside a creek

          3.) top of the mountain

          4.) dripping off the leaves

          5.) with only the sounds that the ocean can make

           

          Also Supposed to be an "other" as 6.)

            I voted mountain run. Because ALL of my trail runs are "deep in a think forest with 100ft trees- sun trying to peak through" Hopefully I'll get a mountain run in soon, as most of the snow is now gone and the alpine should be runable.

              This was tough as I'd be happy on any one of the trails. Smile My first instinct was to pick the desert trail since I used to live in NM. The thick jungle like area with raindrops made me think of a rain forest, and there would be a ton of nature sounds to keep me company there! Ultimately, I picked the thick jungle.

                I also chose the desert trail because I have never been.  Smile

                Running is dumb.

                  I chose the desert trail because it reminds me of camping in Jousha Tree during rock-climbing trips. The forest is amazing, but I do that every week. Actually, I think all alternatives are amazing, but desert is the one I've done the least.

                    I picked the thick forest but if I truly had my choice the run would start in the forest and go to a open mountain top with nice sweeping views. The reason I didn't pick #3 was because of the snow.

                      I'd run in any them, but I'm definitely partial to the mountains (snow or no snow Big grin)

                        I like trees.  A views nice though.

                          I've had my share of thick vegetation this week. I want to be in the cooling breeze above treeline, esp. if I remembered to bring my wind gear or warmer layers. It's above the mosquitoes. I'm assuming the snow is to the side of the trail where I can grab some and stick under my hat for cooling effects. Not sure how "exposed" that trail is intended to be - not a fan of cliffs and narrow trails.

                           

                          Desert with mountain backdrops can be good, esp. in winter, but desert has things like snakes that you need to watch out for as well as flash floods in arroyos.

                            I picked the Mountains, because you had them covered with snow and  I love running in the snow.

                              I picked the forest with 100 ft trees...and if I get pick choose the temps, lets make it 55 degrees.

                                I went with the beach trail- one of my favorites was a park in the Outer Banks that kept turning and meandering along the coast- it was all coastal forest, too, so I got to enjoy the woods, too.  Honestly though, I haven't met too many trails I didn't enjoy.  I would love to get back out to the desert again- Red Rock Canyon is a magical place.
