I am excited that this loop is fully completed and listed as an FKT route. It is such a cool trail. I know at least a few people have run this whole route and I've encouraged them to post their times. Hopefully they do!

Beautiful trail but unfortunately segment 7 is currently closed due to the trail being almost entirely washed out from spring storms. Doesn’t look like it will be fixed before the end of the year.  Hope to come back to give it another go when it reopens!!Â
