Devil's Playground Loop (AZ)

Description

The Devil’s Playground Loop is located in a remote corner of Petrified Forest National Park, in northeast Arizona. This part of the park has hoodoos and other magical rock formations. They have been formed mainly by erosion and are highlighted by bands of blue, purple, and gray. The 2 page park pamphlet for this loop (which doesn’t appear to be online) says that it starts just past the Lithodendron Wash, next to the 2 brown NPS signs (pictured below). The gpx file should be taken as a general guide.

Jack is a Regional Editor for fastestknowntime.com - he volunteers his time to process your FKT submissions.

And he is young, fast, knowledgable, and passionate.  Don't miss this view of our sport from behind the curtain!

"I think the FKT scene is where the elite runners should be.  Races are fine, but the courses are not - we can't get permits to hold races on our best terrain.  But with an FKT, you can race up the best mountains and the best routes in the country."
