The Rachel Carson trail is a hidden treasure in the Pittsburgh area connecting urban areas to parks and trails. it consists of alot of powerlines, jeep trails,steep slate rock climbs and decents, alittle road, cuts though acouple nice parks and about 5 creek crossings. the full trail is 46.25miles starting from the harmony trail in wexford all the way to the end of harrison hils park on freeport rd. The double is just what it sounds like an out and back on the full rachel. This makes for a long day and a hard mental battle at the halfway point know what your facing on the way back.
started at 6:02am finished at 01:55am. first watched died at mile 73.99 switched over to my back up watch for the last 18.5miles. it was well documented with a lot of people out there for support.
