Sunday - Day 3 - Back to LG

The uphill day. New way over the mountains.

Route: From the camp site we head DOWNHILL towards Corralitos. It isn't really a town, more of a store... Unfortunately all that downhill needs to be regained as we climb up to Summit Rd. Fortunately all that uphill needs to be redropped as we fly down Old Santa Cruz and into LG!
