September 16, Freund Canyon, Leavenworth

After a lazy morning, we made our way to Leavenworth to ride Freund Canyon.  We wanted to check out the New Uphill Trail out of the Ski Hill.  Considering that the trail was brand new this year, and there hadn't been much rain over the summer, the new trail was in excellent condition.  We didn't realize that the New Uphill Trail didn't go to the top of Freund Canyon/Rosy Boa.  It climbed briskly for 2 miles, and contoured over to intersect with Rosy Boa trail.  We opted to skip Rosy Boa, which is more technical than Freund, with concerns about dust and loose trail conditions.

We continued just past Rosy Boa to Freund Canyon.  Freund was in great shape.  They reworked it last season after the trail had been used for logging.  We descended, and then made a right turn onto For The Boys Trail, which took us to the car.  Short but sweet day.  Then we had lunch at The Sleeping Lady, before heading to Wenatchee to stay the night.  6 miles 2,700 feet.
