Green Mountain - Round 2

Tuesday, May 16th

Went back to do the Green Mountain loop again after work. Conditions were nearly perfect - the trails had completely dried out from last week, and there was no snow or mud anywhere on the trail. However, this only proved that my route finding problems last week weren't a result of the snow - I'm just an idiot. I probably took almost the exact same route up the last ~600 feet of Green Mountain - I thought I was on the trail, but clearly I missed it. I really wanted to get to the top in under 1hr, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. The run down was painful at times, and I had to walk just before the Mallory cave cutoff, until after crossing the creek and up the steep stairs. Total time was 2:10:51

Total Mileage: ~8.2
Total Elevation: ~2600ft

Here are my approximate splits (Note - this time I started from the trashcan closer to the top of the parking lot). Previous splits are in parentheses.

Amphitheater Trail: 7:10 (7:00)
Greenman Trail: 38:15 (41:00)
Green Mtn. Summit 1:03:35 (1:11:00)
Bear Peak W. Ridge 1:18:00 (1:29:00)
Mesa Trail 1:42:00 (1:58:00)
Finish: 2:10:51 (2:32)
