Description

NOTE: Prior to April 2021 people took different routes traversing the park, and the FKTs reflect that.  Then, Patrick Blair very meticulously worked out the best routes for the one-way (31 miles) and out & back (actually a compressed loop with some overlapping sections, 62 miles).  From now people should carefully follow Patrick's routes if they wish to contest the FKT.  Note also that some of the previous FKTs were on longer routes, so it's not really an apples-apples comparison.
