One of the most iconics traverses of Brasil, Petrópolis x Teresópolis is a trail that connect two cities of Rio de Janeiro, cities that are where the brazilian mountaineering was borned, also historical cities. This traverse is inside of PARNASO, a national park that has lot of trails, climb routes and this is the most important trail/ traverse of the park. 

I decided to establish this route because I don't believe that the Boise area has a premier FKT option yet. We have a couple that are doable in winter and year-round, but none that push up to our higher points, and none that feature direct, mostly uphill routes. With that being said, I plotted out this route because it features a little bit of everything great on our trails here. Fun singletrack, shaded fire roads, a downtown city start, and a finish right at our highest point.
