If you’re interested in running Nolan’s 14, one of the best way to preview the line is to fastpack it! You’ll get a taste of what it’s like to link up big parts of the route, without having to backtrack, and the load makes for good training. Episode 5 starts up the Missouri Gulch Trailhead and links up Missouri Mountain with Huron Peak via Huron’s devious east slopes route, replete with mining roads and trails that may have since disappeared over the years.
