    They have a yellow gate at the start just like the Barkley Marathons at frozen head state park. A good ultra running documentary on Netflix’s for those that are interested.

    It is a bit confusing and unclear. Your not supposed to climb the White Rock which we did not but we did just followed a well marked path along a ridge trail which took us to the top.
