maybe mostly the upper road going in! but really there were just a lot of plastic soda bottles and really quite a few beer cans. i was thinking the same thing, it just opened a couple of days ago!! and it's so beautiful here WTH!!!!

Did you run it from the top down? Need to go the other direction and see if you like it more. I think it's definitely more challenging running uphill.

I guess if you include the road you could see it as a loop. In that case it sounds like you ran it uphill. Did you start by climbing the steep switchbacks in the woods right away? Or did you come in a long gravel road to get to the entrance?
