At the end of you Jesusita Trail description you say "round trip 4 miles". I think it's more like 8.
Let's do this another way:

One of their aid stops is at the Tunnel single-track begins. They say it is five miles from the Cater Water Plant:

The start of Tunnel trail is about 0.75 miles from Inspiration,
leaving at least four miles from Cater to Inspiration.

They may be right since the lady who prepares that run does a lot of trail maintenance, but this topo map makes the distance look like somewhere between 4 and 5 miles round trip, but I guess the actual round trip mileage is 7:

Thanks for the fact-checking!

P.S. I've put the hike here.
