 | | For the hill climb we selected the trail from the beach in Eagle Harbor to the top of Mt. Lookout because the summit featured the most panoramic, ultra scenic views of any place in the entire Keweenaw. |
 | | Finally, the venerable Maasto Hiihto became the easy choice for the 25 Km, mostly due to the remarkable glacially cut Swedetown Creek Gorge and the sweet single tract on the adjacent Churning Rapids trail system. |
 | | One runner from Colorado said, " This trail is better than anything in Aspen." Richard Magin, a professor at UIC in Chicago, described running the Maasto course as "a religious experience." The trail featured waterfalls along Swedetown Creek, lush hardwood forests, highland meadows, and winding single track along Finney Creek. |
