Liberty Lake, my next level. 13.5 km 415 m gain. There are some brutal climbs here. While not an out and back all the climbing is done by about 6 km. I cannot do this one non stop yet but I'm sure when I can this will become my new home. The trail has lots of little bridges and a nice view looking back at the lake.

My current home, Antoine Peak, 16 km 420m elevation gain. I have since turned it into 20 km, 600m gain doing laps. It is 5 k to the necklace and a 6 km "emerald" necklace going around. Down the middle is the climb to the top.
This was a big stepping stone for me. When I first ran this I never dreamed I could do it without stopping, now I hold the course record to the top.

This is the Saltese Wetlands, 5 miles from my house and my intro to climbing. 220 m elevation gain over about 6 km. An out and back with the second half coming back down. It took me a while to be able to do this without stopping and overcoming that was the first time I felt like a real trail runner.
