Grist Mill Trail. Patapsco State Park

This morning I tried out a new trail on referral from an ultrarunning listserv.  Someone that ran the trail marathon I’m doing next month mentioned it as a place with some rolling hills, where they did their training.  I like the trail, but was disappointed in the hills. 

The trail was paved, and went for about 2.5 miles.  I made it a 6 mile run by parking away from the trailhead.  The Patapsco River runs along the trail and there are a couple of suspension bridges, making it a cool run. 

I took it at a decent pace, but frequent photo stops.  Here are a few highlights.

Nice photos!

I'll see you at the Golden Gate Marathon..my wife is out of town that weekend so I signed up.

Be sure to have a camera..if it's not foggy the views are pretty stellar from there.

If you are not renting a car in SF I'd be happy to pick you up and take you to the race..I'm driving up from down the peninsula.
