50 Mile Course Description - Start to Aid Station #2

From the start/finish area (Crystal Creek Campground) the course starts uphill on Forest Service Road 4017 to Trail 301 (2.5 Miles). We will have self serve water available at this trailhead.

Runners continue uphill on Trail 301 to Montgomery Park (5 miles). The trail is faint through Montgomery Park .  Head towards the top of the ridge and watch for a trail sign on a wood post in the middle of the meadow on your right.  Follow the rock cairns straight downhill from the sign to an obvious trail heading to the left.   Continue on Trail 301, which more or less contours along the mountain side until climbing slightly then dropping into the Jackson Creek drainage and intersection with Trail 344 (7 miles).  The trail is faint as it drops into Jackson Creek .  From here continue on Trail 301 climbing slightly until dropping into Casey Meadows and intersection with Trail 343 (8 miles).  At Casey Meadows runners will turn downhill on Trail 343 to the Jackson Creek Trailhead (aid station #1, 10 miles).  Runners then go uphill on Trail 344 which intersects with Trail 301 (13 miles).  Runners then backtrack on Trail 301 to Montgomery Park (15 miles), downhill to Forest Service Road 4017 (17.5 miles, self serve water will be available), and down Forest Service Road 4017 to the start finish area (aid station #2, 20 miles).
