On the run in Pattee Canyon

When not on a mountain trail my new favorite place run is this winding road up into Pattee Canyon, east of town.  It's a wooded valley tucked into the hills that feels like much further away from city life than it actually is.  I can bike there easily from my house and it's where I hope I'll soon find myself living in a little red cabin with a big stack of wood outside and a window looking out into a stand of Ponderosas.  One can dream, right?  :)
