The 9.4 mile loop run around – but not over - Miles Knob (via Miles Notch Trail, Red Rock Trail, and Great Brook Trail) is a run for those days when you are seeking a little “me time” in the woods.  Located in Maine, on the quiet side of the White Mountains, you’re unlikely see more than one or two people, even on a Summer weekend. 

The loop’s layout is up, across, and down.  There are a few tremendous vantage points along the ridge on the across section but you should pick this route when you value a Stairmaster workout over spectacular views.
