About this distance
Far shows Wantastiquet-Monadnock Trail Coalition's published 80.5 km (50.0 mi), which is what to plan against. The route drawn here is Far's own measurement of the mapped trail and comes to 72.0 km (44.7 mi), about 11% shorter, so the drawn line will not match the figure. Elevation gain is profiled from the mapped line only, which covers about 89% of that distance — treat 2861 m as a floor, not the full climb. The unmapped remainder cannot be profiled.
