Hike the Elkhorn Crest Lollipop from Anthony Lakes

After unsuccessfully attempting to run 100 miles at IMTUF in Idaho, I had some time to kill before I had to be home and energy in my legs to burn. The Eastern part of Oregon has been on my list of places to run since I moved to the state a few years ago. One route popped into my mind and I had to do it.

On Gerkling Flat Road outside of Athena, Oregon you can drive right next to these colossal towers and see how a growing renewable energy is generated.
