There is a bit of up and down on the trail, but this connector trail is more of just a ridge hike between Mount Belford and Mount Oxford. The initial descents off of both of the peaks are sandy and washed out dirt, but the middle of the trail is sturdy talus and packed dirt.

There isn't a lot of running to be had on this ridge, but you can pick up some speed on the downhill portions.
