“A perfect one-mile uphill trail from the parking lot.”

Runner Notes

This trail keeps going up (or down depending on which direction you are going). About 3/4 of the way up there is a great vantage point overlooking Byram Lake and the highway. Highly recommended to test yourself at least once a week, and time your bottom to top time.

Description

The Blue Trail (aka the Cliff Trail) is exactly one mile long and has a significant climb to get up that mile.
