Then travel through rhododendron tunnels on one of the gems of this course, the Holcomb Creek Trail. On this trail of just under a mile, runners will see a 120-foot waterfall and two, 80-foot waterfalls.

Woo! This was a tough climb, let alone trying to trail run it... I would compare it to the intensity of my climbing Mt. Washington in 2017
