The PCT begins on a low hill near Campo (elev. 2,915′), a small town near the Mexican border. It then passes through Lake Morena County Park, tunnels beneath Interstate 8, and climbs through chaparral, scrub oak and pines to the rim of the Laguna Mountains. The trail dips into Anza-Borrego Desert State Park at Scissors Crossing, and then winds through the San Felipe Hills and lesser mountains of the Cleveland National Forest before crossing Highway 74 at 4,900 feet and climbing the backbone of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Esperero Cathedral Loop gives you a beautiful and steep tour of a portion of the Catalina Mountains in Tucson, AZ! This is one of the long run routes the Tucson Trail Runners group has been running since the 1970s and times on the course are available online dating back to 1979 (long before Strava)! From Sabino Canyon, run on the tram road until you hit Esperero Trail, where you will take a left. The trail quickly becomes steep and takes you up to Cardiac Ridge, then through Esperero Canyon and past Bridal Veil Falls where there is sometimes water flowing.

The fifth stage of the 5 Canary Islands route. Mainly along the GR131 and GR138 route, which connects the islands. The route is mainly trail running. It has been slightly modified to always lead from port to port. The stages are directly connected to each other. The route leads over the highest point of the island, Pico de las Nieves. The first section from the port of Las Palmas to Pico de las Nieves was designed with a local runner. The second part from the summit to the port of Agaete (the next stage will later lead to Tenerife E6) follows the GR131 and GR138 routes.
