Today I ran the Bear Creek Loop in Arizona's Pusch Ridge Wilderness. 18 miles, 3,000 feet of climb (and descent), 10 recently-flooded water crossings (including two that went up to my hips), 5 hours 53 minutes.

Incredible views, a howl in the wilderness, ice in the sun, the Arizona Trail, a helicopter fly-by, switchbacks forever, no shortcuts. An absolute blast.
