My plan was to run trail #25 - a 25-mile loop through the park. It was well marked near the trailhead but after a few miles the markings either disappeared or I was running so fast that I missed them. I ended up running for a couple hours lost. Not too lost, the river was always just over the way, but lost enough on the network of unmarked trails to make it fun.
I bought a map of the park and will attempt the loop another time. The map suggests that trail #25 exists in its entirety.

Sadie would have loved it.
Minimal climbing - maximum scenery.

Pick a direction and go where it leads.Keep running. And get well, Sadie!

when in doubt, always turn back :-)
ReplyDeleteGet well Sadie!
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a beautiful trail to get lost on.
There is nothing as good as being lost in the woods. Good luck in South Africa!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I would have been scared shitless if I were lost up there... :)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... maybe Sadie needs new shoes. Or, to use a white foam roller after her runs... or orthotics....has she been stretching?
ReplyDeleteI love that park. I'm gonna run there some day too!
All the best wishes to Sadie.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping Sadie is back up and running soon.
ReplyDeleteMake sure Sadie does her stretching exercises and core training!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome trail, If I got lost in those woods they would have to send 'international rescue' to find me!
