The Castle Trail is the longest trail within Badlands National Park and offers the best glimpse of the various formations within. This route starts and ends at the eastern terminus of Castle Trailhead and the loop portion can be run either direction.

This Bronx Perimeter route was scouted over the course of a couple months in the summer of 2022. This run is a part of my year long project to run all of the NYC Borough perimeters. I designed it to also allow for bike support across 100% of the route.
Monitor Rock is a ranked peak in the Mt. Elbert quad at 10,556’ and is an excellent scramble at 5.4 yds following this track. Racing up The Nose is a good way to climb a lot of vertical feet quickly.
The track is designed for those who want to do laps but will be submitted as a one lap unsupported female FKT. There are two tiers on the climb where choosing the path of least resistance is the fastest line however there are many lines and crack systems to the summit and this is the fastest line.
From the hiker parking lot in Hinterstein village via Giebelhaus and Prinz Luitpolt Haus to the Hochvogel summit and back out the same way

this routes got plenty of it, traversing the Bonneville Salt Flats from the NV border to the eastern edge near the booming metropolis of Knolls, UT.
- The sallt flats: The Bonneville Salt Flats are the largest salt flats in the US. It's all public land and open to the public. It's also home to land speed events as one of a few locations where land speed records are broken.
