The 46-mile circuit of trails around the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in the state is one of Oregon's great multinight backpacking opportunities -- and one that gives you plenty of those in-your-face views.  (I did this trip in 2010, but people are planning it for this summer and are searching for my story, so here it is again.)

The Trans-Catalina Trail used to run the length of Santa Catalina Island, from Avalon to Starlight Beach at the north end of the island.  Its northern end was rerouted to make transportation easier, so that now the trail goes to Parson's Landing and loops back to Two Harbors.  The 2012 FKT listed for Aaron Flynn was for the old route, which seems to have been ~ 1.5 miles longer than the current route.  The official route is shown on

On September 21st, 2015, I completed a running circumnavigation of Mono Lake, the iconic body of water just east of Yosemite NP. The entire route is 41.7 miles long. I have found no reports of anyone else doing a loop run around Mono Lake, so as of now I believe this to be the first time it has been done.
