We will car pool to the Snowmobiler’s Parking Lot on Westchurch Sideroad to begin “Hart’s Triple Hell” – 3 ups, 3 downs, 3 loops, 3 lookouts and at least 3 beers for recovery. Everything will happen in the Pretty River Valley and there will be an opportunity to drop out after one loop (about 5.5 km). Once you start the second loop you are committed for the duration. There are some steep ascents and descents with great views, making the extreme effort worthwhile. Poles are suggested to make the hike a bit easier. Bring lunch and lots of beverages.
