Runner Notes

Lace 'em up, this is a steep trail! It's tons of fun to bomb down in your new maximalist shoes or kick, cuss, bite and squeal your way uphill.

Description

East End is an incredibly steep trail that ties the Windgate Pass Trail to the Tom Thumb Trail. Even though it's so short, it is one of the steepest and most rewarding sections of trail in the McDowells. Enjoy the views from above!
