From northwest of Weatherford in central Parker County, the Trailway travels 20 miles west to the downtown district of Mineral Wells in eastern Palo Pinto County. It connects to Lake Mineral Wells State Park, where you can camp and picnic.

The Trailway is 20 miles long and 10 feet wide. Two miles of surface from the downtown Mineral Wells trailhead toward the east are asphalt. Finely crushed and screened limestone tops the remaining 18 miles.

Up and down the highest peak of the 5 prominent mountain ranges surrounding Tuscon.

Mica Mountain in the Rincon Mountains via Douglas Springs trail.

Wasson Peak in the Tucson Mountains via King Canyon trail.

Mt Lemmon in the Catalina Mountains via Romero Canyon and Mt Lemmon trail.

Keystone Peak in the Sierrita Mountains via the main road.

Mt Wrightson in the Santa Rita Mountains via Old Baldy trail.

All runs are trailhead to trailhead. FKT is the total elapsed time from the first TH to the last.

This is a challenging but beautiful route starting at the beach in Santa Barbara and climbing through the Santa Ynez mountains to La Cumbre Peak and then back. It is roughly marathon distance (~ 26 miles) and has more than 8,200 feet of vertical change--almost no flat running.
