This route is a loop consisting of about 5 miles of logging/access roads/Santiam wagon road, 6 miles of off trail ridge running/scrambling, and 12 miles of very nice single track and 2 miles of narrow forested pavement with little traffic. The off trail sections are fairly easy to follow as they either follow ridges or go from peak to peak above tree line.  There is some pink/orange flagging is some sections that users have placed to help with route finding, though it was not necessary when the route was established.

Momella Gate to the summit of Mt Meru and back to the gate. This is the only route up Mt Meru. The trail passes Miriakamba hut, Saddle Hut, and Rhino point before reaching the summit at 4562m/14968ft.

Meru is the second tallest mountain in Tanzania after Kilimanjaro and the fifth tallest in Africa. The climb traverses wildlife areas that require a park ranger to be with you, rainforest, heather, and alpine desert with mind blowing vistas.
