Description
The boulders on this mile-long section of trail present obstacles that must be climbed over and sometimes under, creating a unique hiking experience. There are occasional drops, and places where packs must be removed to squeeze beneath a boulder.Many hikers call this stretch one of the slowest on the approximately trail. This so-called "killer mile" or the "Toughest Mile" is a very tough section that can cause even the most experienced hikers to slow down.
