Awesome run that I will remember for a long time. It's a great loop, mostly run through an awesome forest. I approached the climb pretty hard, doing some free fartlek until Devil's Peak Lookout. On the first part of the downhill the vegetation is a bit overgrown and there are many logs on the trail that you have to jump over. The second part is faster, with the trail being always pretty smooth through the forest. Ate 3 gels and carried a 500ml flask of water, didn't stop to refill along the way though there are a few creeks.

I actually started and finished my run at Old Salmon River Trailhead, which is about 2 miles along the river from Green Canyon Campground, for a total of 31.7km and +1300m of elevation.
