The route

Some of this loop requires walking on the grass next to Bethnal Road, not on a defined trail. It does not require you to be immediately next to the road, but you may be walking through taller grass depending on the season, and perhaps needing to cross the road at times to get to better terrain.

Trail system: Back 40
Trailhead: Tower Trailhead
Distance: 6.51 miles
Elevation gain: 525 feet (81 feet per mile)
Shape: Loop. You finish where you started without retracing your steps.
Surface: Natural surface the whole way
Difficulty: Moderate. A route is rated by its most difficult section. This route may include natural-surface trails that are often about 2 feet wide. The trails can have moderate slopes/inclines, with some sections being quite steep. Obstacles may include rocks and roots up to about 8 inches high, so hikers should have good stability.
