This (Ashford) will most likely be the last place for cell service. We will do introductions and a trail briefing here, followed by a caravan to the trailhead at the end of Westside Road. Goal being  shoes on trail and running by approximately 7:00am.

There is a  rest room at the county park next to the fire station, but I am unsure if it will be open that early.  There are no facilities at the trailhead.

National Park Entrance Fee required.
