The Bad Bits
The 115 miles [185 km] of trail between Central and Two Rivers checkpoints is really a nasty piece of work:
Central 435 feet [133 meters]
Eagle Summit 3685 feet [1123 meters]
Mile 101 Steese Highway 2250 feet [686 meters]
Rosebud Summit 3640 feet [1109 meters]
Two Rivers 750 feet [229 meters]
