Propel along pine-shaded winding single track, pass pure white quartz spires and quartzite outcrops, squeeze through tight mountain laurel tunnels, streak across low-bush blueberry glades, hobble over boulders, hopscotch gurgling mountain streams trimmed in dark rhododendron groves, wind through the monolith maze, observe inspiring far-reaching viewpoints from rock promontories, and scramble up an 80 degree rock slab.
Designed to test the seasoned or serious hiker and trail runner.
