Fun route! I opted to follow the same tracks as the prior group, parking at Anthony Wayne Rec Area and traveling counterclockwise. There's a lot of great variety in the loop - but I would say generally the more technical and steep miles are backloaded when going this way. I hit a lot of familiar trails but this was also a great way to see some less-explored corners of the park.
Peak fall conditions on the day - great views but leaf cover on the ground is starting to get a bit dangerous.
Ran unsupported, fueled on gels and tailwind. I'd say 90% of the time there is ample water for filtering along this course as you go. But on this day the east ridgeline was bone dry, I had to refill at Third Reservoir after running out of water for a couple hours.
