For centuries, people walked these paths to travel between their settlements. This segment has developed its own identity within the local trail running community for its iconic beauty and technicality, combining steep climbs, rocky singletrack, exposed ridgelines, ancient stone paths, coastal views, and challenging descents in an accessible loop.
