“Since the volcanic activity has increased, it’s now open to climb and have fun.” 🤣

This past winter (2023/2024) my wife and I spent 3 months in Ecuador, our third winter there. But this last time was my first foray into trail running and hiking (I'm a cyclist). We were in the Loja region near Malacatos for two months and I went running almost every morning, gaining so much endurance, losing weight. This awesome video brings back so many recent and good memories.

"Sometimes in trail running there's not much of either" Haha I'll have to remember that one. The landscape here feels incredibly special especially that description of the deeper greens and the lighter green vegetation due to the volcano's. I almost forget looking at these areas as well just how high the plateau they sit on actually is above sea level. Thank you for documenting so much footage and producing it for us as always.

Thank you Jeff for sharing these amazing videos, I took a bad fall on my Sunday run and this video was a pleasant distraction after a day of bad news.

That “sometimes in trail running there’s not much of either” line should be in a book. Such a true statement. Binge watching your videos. This one is my favorite!! I have said that about pretty much every video thus far!! Amazing work you do capturing these trips and bringing us along. Wow! You are a blessed man!

Jeff, another beautiful film - as always :) I'll keep repeating... since I can't travel or do these types of adventures, I'm super grateful to see the world and the hiking/running trails thru your awesome work. I have my moments when I get really sad and may tear up due to current circumstances, but those moments are well worth pushing through so that I can experience the trails and the beauty through well-done films. Thank you! 🙌👏
