Description

Japanese Gulch is tucked away between Everett and Mukilteo, not far from the ferry terminal, and is even connected to the beach! It's a beautiful respite from the surrounding suburbs and is perfect for running, mountain biking, and hiking.

This route follows the main outer loop and consists of twisty and hilly singletrack trail surrounded by lush and mossy forest. Expect roots and mud! The loop can be run in either direction. Park at the Tails and Trails dog park and start/finish is the wooden archway at the trailhead.

Rob and Mike not only did a great route in fine style, but their photo went big in the FKT world.  (It should be on the cover of Outside Magazine!)

R2R2R.alt runs across the Grand Canyon, with the same distance and elevation profile as the very popular (overpopulated?) Rim to River to Rim to River to Rim route.  Big difference:  there is no bridge across the river - have to swim!  

"When Mike texted saying he wanted to do this route, I said, 'No way.'" - Rob
