Glenwood Horse Trail (GHT) – This is a 65+ mile network of advanced single track and jeep roads along the Blue Ridge Parkway from Natural Bridge Station to Camp Bethel outside of Nace. I like the National Geographic Trails Illustrated map #789 for these trails.
Map #1 and #2 of the Hellgate 100k Trail run. I participated in the first year of this race in 2003 and finished 9th. This race starts at 12:01am on the second Saturday in December. There isn’t another trail ultra quite like it.
Common loops I run/ride:
From the Day Creek Day
You can also access these loops from other places;
- Just past camp Bethel you will come to a 4-way intersection. You can park here run each of these routes – Google Map
- The middle of the 9 mile Hammond Hollow – Spec Mines loop can be accessed from Fringer Trail Road
- Bobblets Gap on the BRP – Google Map
- At Black Horse Gap on the BRP – Google Map
