This route looks amazing! I am planning on running it on August 7th. Will the trailhead signs be obvious or is there a specific landmark at either end that should be used as a starting and finishing point?

I am going to attempt this route again on Sunday the 8th to see if I can take off some time. So excited to see this trail again!

Travel chaos took a bit of a toll. I am pushing this back a day to a bit of rehydration.
