Most certainly is off road, which is the part that has me worried. There is a 10 hr limit, so figure 31 miles, 3.1 mph, sounds doable. Granted, I would like to put in more of an effort than a walk, but I would at least feel comfortable knowing I can finish. However, this trail has almost 10,000 feet of elevation change, with an elevation gain of almost 5,000 feet. The elevation chart they provide looks pretty intense, so I really have no idea what to expect.
