Bearwallow: Outer Green Loop

This trail guide follows the green outer loop trails in this order: 12, 19, 15, 20, and 14. You can run this loop in any direction, but to follow this trail guide, start with Trail 12. This loop connects to many other roads within the Park. The road surface is hard-packed dirt and has no major or challenging obstacles. It is mostly one lane to two lanes wide, and the only challenges will be steep inclines and descents. Given the steepness, a four-wheel drive vehicle with low gearing is recommended.
