Colorado Springs Trail Running

Ran the section of this trail from Monument to Woodmen Road.

The section from Monument to Baptist Road was windswept. The trail was fairly clear with just a few snowy spots. The worst spot was a 2 ft snow drift at the Monument Trail Head.

From Baptist Rd to Northgate, there was a light dusting of snow with an occasional deeper areas but not more that a couple inches.

Northgate to the turn by the runway (2.3 miles) was light dusting. The openness and the wind keeps it fairly clear.

After getting into the more treed areas, the conditions deteriorated. Over the last 5 miles or so, there was icy patches (which will be slush when it gets warmer) and about 1 - 2 inches of snow. There were some areas of rutty frozen foot prints and bike ruts.

Since it was about 20 degrees during the run, the entire trails was frozen.
