Where it starts
Powder Mills Park. Open the start in Maps. It is a loop, so you finish where you begin.
How we picked it
318 loops passed our quality checks (a real loop, the right distance, no backtracking, U-turns or street-grid zigzags). We measured each one’s hills, then picked the climber: the most climbing. 88 of those were ordinary, unsteered loops, and that is the group this route is ranked against.
Routes follow Google walking directions. Check closures, crossings and daylight before you run.
