The beauty of this place is overwhelming

A perfect early morning run before work. 12.5 miles, from the base of Johnson Canyon, following the Donner Lake Rim Trail up to the PCT, under I-80, then South to Old Hwy 40, and East to Donner Summit Canyon trail, and back down to the car left at the Summit Canyon trailhead.

Start time 5:00a.m.
