The route includes several different trails but is a straightforward linkup. Crystal Mountain is a popular ski resort but also includes some beautiful trails and when combined create a logical circumnavigation of the ridge lines surrounding Crystal Mountain Boulevard. Over the years I have seen many trail runners complete this loop on strava and it is an excellent training run. I think it would be interesting for this popular training loop to be turned into an FKT and see how fast this challenging route can be completed in.
