So I'm planning a section hike from Front Royal to Pen-Mar Park. My only remaining question is one I ought to be able to figure out but I thought it easier to just come to the source of all good information first. My question is about the Devil's Racecourse. I understand it is a large boulder field but what I don't know is how it interacts/intersects/overlaps with the AT itself. Does the AT just cross the field and if so for what distance? Does it follow the entire length of the field? Or is it just in proximity to the boulder field and it is essentially a side trip? It doesn't look like a lot of fun to hike for any extended period of time. I'm confused. Any help would be appreciated.
