Lookout Point

A weekend at the cabin and I had the chance for a run out to Lookout point.  The run starts off up hill until you reach the meadows on top of the Cypress Hills.  It is a 15km run, there and back. The trail is a winding road through giant pine trees, past the trail ride stables, tennis courts.  I run past an observatory that is being built,  this is a dark sky preserve and the stargazing at night is spectacular.  The whole time I am aware that there is now a pretty big cougar population in the these hills, so I tend to run making as much noise as possible.  My heavy breathing is helping, I am making a lot of noise as I run up the 1275 meters above sea level to the incredible view at Lookout Point.
