Salt Fork Lodge
14755 Cadiz Road

Salt Fork Lake provides a serene backdrop as you conquer this beastly course. With three distances to choose from, there's something for everyone at Summer Sasquatch. For the brave and determined, the 50k distance will take you through three loops, with over 4,000 feet of elevation gain. The 20-mile option provides a slightly less grueling two loop challenge, and the 10-mile event is perfect for those seeking a shorter but still exhilarating race. Hikers are welcome to join in on the fun! Click here to view the Summer Sasquatch course map.
