The trail continues back onto Hoback Trail, eventually crossing towards Seven Bridges. Continue up the mountain until you reach Solitoga Trail + Solitude Road. You'll reach a maintenance road as you continue up the mountain towards the Teton Chair.
Take the Wildflower Trail until reaching the Gondola summit. Proceed up the Cirque Trail to reach the summit of Rendezvous Mountain (10,455 ft., mile 12). After reaching the summit, work your way back down the Upper Rock Springs Trail to a maintenance road that will guide you back to the Wildflower Trail. Descend until reaching the finish line. Miles 13-18 are located mostly on mountain single track trails.
The course will be marked with YELLOW flagging, caution tape, chalk and more.
ELEVATION

AID STATIONS
Aid stations provided will be administered with as little contact as possible and set in areas where social distancing guidelines can be implemented.
There will be ~ 6 aid stations along the 30K course spaced out by ~ 4-5 miles each. Aid stations are cupless, meaning there will be no cups available for use.
