This 15.5 mile run starts at the trailhead for Little Devils Stairs Trail and quickly climbs up a gorge with numerous waterfalls and views of the gorge. Enjoy mid-run aid (and blackberry ice cream!) at Elkwallow Wayside (bring cash). The run ends with a sweet descent on Keyser Run Fire Road past an old cemetery, and back to the Little Devils Stairs trailhead.
More details on the run, including map and GPX file, are on Furbutt’s Favorites.
