I serendipitously crossed paths with the Brown Mountain Loop FKT while on vacation with my family — naturally drawn to the aesthetic loop and my namesake in the mountain. I ran the route a couple days prior finding the PCT trail junction a little tricky to find.
Thankfully it was such a beautiful and cool summer morning for a hard effort on the loop. My nutrition was a patchwork of cut figs, gatorade, and a bit of GU Roctane. I’ve not fueled with figs for a race effort, but it’s all we had in the fridge that morning. It worked out well for me!
Oh! And, I did see one black bear along the Brown Mountain North Trail.
Cheers to the prior FKTers and the FKTers to follow on this route.
