Not all of it looks like that, there are some really rocky parts to that trail. The parts that I've run with Jen, Dan, and Mike aren't bad for the most part. I ran one stretch with Mike and I whined for the first and last mile, but really it wasn't as bad as some sections I've run with other friends of mine. Those sections I would actually have to stop and put on my sandals because the rocks were to big and jagged to get across barefoot. I'm sure Dan could probably do it, but even he would probably cringe and be in pain.
