Duff Park 10-Mile Loop.

The Duff Park 10-Mile Loop is a challenging trail route located in Murrysville, Pennsylvania. It connects both Duff Park and Pleasant Valley park. The course showcases nearly every major trail within the parks, creating a well-rounded double loop that combines flowing singletrack, steep climbs, technical descents, creek crossings, and fast runnable sections.

Fannin Traverse. Starting just North of the Wigwam Inn at the end of the Indian Arm and finishing in Deep Cove. The trail along this route is mostly well defined, but involves a lot of bushwacking. The only requirements on this route are to hit the true summits of: Mount Dickens, Presbyter Peak, Deacon Peak, Mount Bishop, Vicar Peak, Curate Peak, Rector Peak, Mount Elsay, Mount Seymour, Tim Jones Peak (Second Peak), and Pump Peak. There is little variation possible prior to Pump Peak, I decided to take the shortest path down to Deep Cove from there.

This traverse goes over 10 peaks and subpeaks around the entire Barkley Valley, starting with the Twin Lakes peaks and then going clockwise.

This route is for you if you prefer loops over out and backs.  Start anywhere along the route, but I challenge you to take this adventure going clockwise because you'll get a good workout ascending St. Louis Heights to Wa'ahila trail. 

Enjoy a nice mix of road and trail; mud and dirt; incline, decline, and flat sections.  Do your homework and be prepared as you'll traverse a small section of the Ko'olau Summit Trail.  The best part of this route will be the beautiful views along Ka'au Crater ridge and Wa'ahila ridge trails.
