At that time, I often ran the mile in seven minutes flat, always being at least thirty seconds ahead of every other student.

Naturally, unless you bring two cars, enjoying the entire trail would cause you to rack up nine miles. If you start at the Pomo Canyon Campground, you might have to add another mile, as when I hiked it, the campground was closed, and I do not know if it is permanent or seasonal.
