Green Room.
Green Room is a very short connector at just two-tenths of a mile, likely named for its forest canopy or a local landmark. At this length, it's typically used to link longer segments or access a specific feature rather than as a destination in itself. Expect to cover it in under ten minutes at a standard pace.
