Nov. 8th 2008 was a beautiful day to tick-off one of the "50 best trail runs in Southern CA". It was a long one, 16.4 miles completed in 4.5 hours. A good portion of the trail is not runnable in my opinion, so I may have walked as much as I jogged. Click on the picture above to view photos.
The Boy Scout Trail spans an 8 mile transition zone between the high Mojave and low Mojave Desert, showcasing an extraordinary range of plants, cacti, trees and terrain along its path. The southern portion travels through an archetypal Joshua Tree forest, then edges higher into the lower reaches of a pinyon-juniper ecosystem. Moving north, the trail drops sharply into a rugged canyon, emerging in a broad plateau that hosts a variety of plants and succulents from the low Mojave and Colorado deserts.
