Another great vid Andy, looks like some great scenery and good trails too. I am looking forward to part 2.

Here's Part-2, it ends abruptly as I'd previously let the battery run low and forgot to recharge it.

Some pics from the trip:

Here's some pics from Saturday's run. We left Panamint Springs about 8:30am - and headed over Towne's Pass and down into Stovepipe Wells, where the thirsty Raptors got their fill:

Then it was on to the trailhead, past the Sand Dunes, Devil's Cornfield, Mud Canyon & Daylight Pass. We stopped at the Chloride Cliff trailhead to air down:

The trail starts out quick:

But then slows in the twisty hills:

After the twisties, the speed picks up until the main Chloride Cliff trail forks:

From here it was a case of how fast can you go all the way into the Titus Canyon trailhead Nevada - well minus the one washout.

The first 8 miles of Titus Canyon run across a sandy wash and allows the Raptor to do it's stuff. Even the climb up to Red Pass was pretty quick:

From here we looked down on Leadville and the start of the Titus Canyon narrows:

After lunch @ Leadville we hit the narrows and posed for the group shot:
