🟣 Run Details
The end time for the run IS A GUESS. It's best to not have something else scheduled the same day.

Our path will take us through the Muddy Mountains Wilderness and end on North Shore Rd. At the beginning of the run, we will pass through several scenic sandstone formations affording an opportunity to get some photos. As we descend, other interesting geological features are visible.

Bitter Springs, located near the end of the trail, could be wet and is a popular spot for various wild animals that inhabit the area. We may see burros or Big Horn sheep although that is never guaranteed as they are shy. It also means we could get dirty!
