With the completion of the Granite Chief Wilderness reroute we have a new course that we will start using in 2027. The changes to the course include:

1. Minor changes up to Watson's Monument, including after the top of Shirley lift we avoid the steep loose trail which Palisades Tahoe has been trying to close for a couple years.
2. New five mile trail in Granite Chief (the reroute).
3. The route after the Duncan Canyon AS has been changed to avoid the steep exit.
4. We are back on the Little Bald Mtn trail instead of road N43 after Robinson Flat.

The aid station mileages have been updated to reflect these changes. The course remains 100.2 miles.
