Description

A SWVA Classic. 3000 feet of climbing in about 11 miles roundtrip with a fire tower at the top (and some amazing rock formation).

Historically the TT route starts at the edge of the trailhead parking ~50 feet in from the main road, so that is what has been submitted here. Both ascent time and roundtrip times are classic test pieces for the SWVA ultra scene. The lower half of the route is a steep old logging road that transitions to double and single track for the top section.

Route Description – GR®38 : The small Breton Appalachian Trail !

The GR®38 in Brittany (France) is a long-distance hiking trail spanning approximately 360 km with 4,700 m of elevation gain, crossing the Morbihan and Finistère departments. If the GR®38 finishes its way at the Atlantic Ocean, it is less known than the famous coastal path GR®34.

The GR®38 route explores, east to west  (or vice versa), the southern part of Brittany from a purely rural point of view, a distance from the sea.
