Report

Beautiful wet fall morning in the woods after camping on Canaan loop road all week.
Expect creek crossings, rocks, mud, and thick rhodo that make it feel like full combat in there yet the gradient made it all runnable. Only lost the trail once for a little bit near the top but it is mostly easy to follow the blue blazes even if you have never run it before. I ran it counterclockwise from the west (downhill) trailhead.

Pro tip: there is a good pool on Red Run to soak in post run if you go down to the creekside campsite at the parking area and then walk 10 yards upstream.
