Course Description
Taking off from the chalet the course starts on the ski road to open things up. From there you'll hop on the Duluth Traverse - Fern Gully section that rolls nicely through the forest. Once you near Kingsbury Creek your work on the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) begins. The  SHT on the west side of Kingsbury Creek will take you up a gradual climb to the summit of Spirit Mountain, using some connectors to make your way across the ski area. From Spirit you'll continue on the SHT all the way out to Ely's Peak. From the westside of Ely's Peak you will descend to the Duluth-Winnepeg-Pacific Railroad Trail (DWP). The old railroad tunnel is your intro to the DWP, the gravel double track that will have you cruising back to the finish at the chalet.
