I ran out through the main gate where you enter for camping and went right. I believe that is Silica Rd (I recall running past Cave B on my right), ran until I hit 3 miles on my watch and then turned around and headed back. I never the left the road I started on. Traffic was light early in the morning and it is wide open so you can see oncoming cars. You have to do this early because by 9am it is hot and there will be no shade whatsoever on the run. There were a few other runners on the road too. I had big plans to run at least twice because I had a race coming up two weeks after but only ran Friday morning. You won't suffer in terms of training if you end up running only once. Besides it's your first time at Gorge enjoy the concerts and sleep in.
