Route

Route:

Start up the trail towards the water tank. Go right at the tank, take a left up the single track, left again through the fence, then, right up the 4WD road to the top. At the top, continue east, straight, on the old 4WD road. The road curves left, right, the left again. Make sure you stay on the south and east side of the fence. Continue north until you're about even with the radio towers on your left. Follow the road as it curves left and goes down the hill and around the north side of the mountain. About midway, stay right at the service road junction and continue around the mountain. The road turns into a trail. Follow the trail south along the east side of the mountain, then climb steeply up a ravine to the plateau. At the top, continue heading west towards the radio towers. When you hit the 4wd road, go left and retrace your route to the start.

Unless you are starting early, only the faster intermediate runners and better will be able to do the entire loop. It'll take the fastest runners 1:00+ to complete the loop. For everyone else, please do this as an out-and-back, turning around at ~30-35 minutes. The trail on the map was drawn by hand. The elevation profile is fairly accurate, but the distance is probably closer 7.5-8.0mi.
