The K Trail

James, does that thread talk about the spikes that were removed from the trail? I know at least one set was discovered and removed.

 

Damn that is ridiculous.

Oh okay. Nice! I want to cruise through the whole country. Why else did I get this RTT? haha

 

Yeah. They hooked them to winches and yanked steel plates with spikes welded on.

 

yeah, they were pulled out, and there are a couple reports of people running it without trouble since then... but the trail should be assumed to have semi hostile locals...

 

Pretty much. If you hear banjos.... RUN!

 

Where are you allowed to camp on the trail?

 

As far as I know, you can camp anywhere along the trail.

 

Awesome. So how long do you think it would take to run the whole 80 miles? Two full days or less?

 

Plan on two days and take your time.

 

The trail is public but land on either side is private west of the fire tower. Camping would have to be from the fire tower and back to the east since that is the national forest.

 

Thanks for all the advice guys! If yall think of anymore tips throw em out here!

 

Here is a small write up I did about the trail.

 

Where did yall get on and off the trail at?

 

Entered on Nine Pines road near Clayton. Highway 259 is where you can get off or keep heading east. The trail east of 259 seems to be more maintained.

 

Link to a map?

 

BUMP I leave in 2 days, any last minute advice?

 

@tex where does the trail end?

 

I'm not sure where it technically ends. When traveling on it east and it crosses highway 259 it does a big loop and comes back into 259 a little south from where you crossed.
