Smooth and winding with gentle climbs/descents with outstanding views! Did I mention all distances are a single loop? I don’t know about you, but I love not repeating any trails on a long run! From the base of Echo Valley ski area all distances will start down the main road and then shortly take a left onto the climbing single track. While the grade is gentle the climb is long and sustained. After the initial long climb, you are rewarded with those amazing views of the Chelan Valley and some gentle rolling single track. The 10k then begins its descent back down to the Echo Valley ski area on the Bergman Gulch Trail. Meanwhile, the Half and 50k runners continue to trails that wind through the beautiful ponderosa pine forest for miles and miles. The Half course is an abbreviated portion of the 50K course. This course is so much fun that you might not be ready to be done as both the Half and the 50K make the final descent down Waterbar Heaven. and you’re in luck because there is one last small climb up a decommissioned forest road before finally arriving back at the Finish line.
