Crew Access Notes

Crew access and drop bags are at the Crowders Ridge Start/Finish area only, reachable after each ~26.8mi loop (course is 3 full loops plus a shortened 4th loop that turns back at the 161 Aid Station instead of continuing to Boulders). Wolf's Den, 161, and Boulders Access aid stations are on remote park trail and not crew-accessible. Summits both Crowders and Pinnacle peaks each loop.
