Falcon. <br /><br />Scott - those numbers seem pretty accurate in my book and doesn't jive with Map My Run. When adding to your numbers; two dog, walkers, parmalee, meadows, ute, and elbow you end up with more of a 3500 number<br /><br />Get after it TL - make those lungs burn!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698749333112163049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775111454657693165.post-62819113788679381792010-04-17T08:22:00.246-06:002010-04-17T08:22:00.246-06:00While I can't tell you how much vert Mt. Falco...While I can't tell you how much vert Mt. Falcon or Deer Creek has I can tell you that the most accurate method for measuring vertical gain is a barometric altimeter (as long as the weather pattern holds steady). GPS is pretty inaccurate and all the programs like mapmyrun and the garmin site lay the track over a DEM (digital elevation model) to come up with a total. Because the DEM isn't entirely accurate the programs run a smoothing algorithm on the data to come up with a more realistic number. Trouble is the smoothing doesn't work so well off-road.<br />Your friendly neighborhood map geek,<br />ChristianChristianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862978104402477638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775111454657693165.post-3131655530756644422010-04-16T22:24:00.877-06:002010-04-16T22:24:00.877-06:00Hey Scott...my Garmin305 has from the parking lot ...Hey Scott...my Garmin305 has from the parking lot up to the ruins at 1,563ft gain. From the parking lot up to the highest shelter is 1,922. But that is GPS so not as accurate as barometric pressure.scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324959458675299093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775111454657693165.post-65019438722063148432010-04-16T22:14:33.764-06:002010-04-16T22:14:33.764-06:00I'm running it this Sunday and will bring my a...I'm running it this Sunday and will bring my altimeter to compare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
