Sloane Reyes
Flagstaff, AZ · Barista and trail guide
A mountain runner learning to love a flat loop.
The story
Sloane runs big vertical at home and came to a backyard on a dare from a customer. She found out the hard way that a flat loop every hour is its own kind of mountain, going out at yard 24 last year with perfectly fresh legs and no plan for the boredom. She came back with a plan, a crew and a deck of cards.
