This run explores both parks first with a large 10 mile loop followed by a short version of the Huddart Loop which is 6 miles. Phleger is less traveled than Huddart, so the trails are more rocky and rough. Also, sections of the Lonely Trail are very steep. But, your effort is rewarded with an awesome climb and beautiful scenery along the way! This run starts from the parking lot near the Zwierlein picnic area. After paying the fee at the entrance kiosk, continue straight after the stop sign and park near the volleyball nets. The run starts on the Bay Tree Trail on the opposite side of the parking lot from the volleyball nets. NOTE: This route is closer to 16 miles however, the GPX file doesn't fit exactly with the map so it cuts some distance off.
