The Cache Dash is a 26.5 mile horse shoe route, following the ridge and tagging the high points above the town of Jackson and Cache Creek canyon, starting up Josie's Ridge and ending by descending Crystal Butte at the Nelson Trail Head. The Cache Dash begins at Garaman Park and ascends Josie's Ridge. From Josie's Ridge you link to the Skyline Trail until it intersects Game Creek Trail, at which point you begin the off trail bushwhacking section to gain the ridge again.

The Norris - Scenic Death March Traverse (aka Chuck Norris's Scenic Death March) is a loop adventure in Glacier National Park connecting the Norris and Scenic Death March traverses, starting and finishing at the Saint Mary Falls trailhead. It is an exceptional combination of trail running and off-trail scrambling through Glacier's inspiring scenery. With careful routefinding the route goes at no more difficult than class 3. It has some fairly irredeemable sections of chossy rock that make for difficult sidehilling or descent, but overall the highs of the route far outweigh these lows. 

Mt Mitchell (6684') is the highest peak in the eastern USA.

The ascent from Briar Bottom is gains nearly 3700' in about 5.25 miles.  Start at the Briar Bottom TH, for the ascent time stops at observation deck.  While there is a Strava segment for this, it is important to report your actual (watch) time, as relying on GPS can be off by many seconds.  Also, the Strava Segment doesn't go to the actual observation deck.
