NOTICE TO SKIERS:
December 2009: the northern end of Section 19 is closed for the 2009/2010 season between Trapp Road and Camel's Hump Road due to logging operations.
Please plan to begin or end your Section 19 tour at Trapp Road rather than Camel's Hump Road. See the Section Map and Description below for additional details on the Trapp Road access/exit point.
Section 19: Route 17 to Camel's Hump Road
Snapshot:
This is a challenging, remote, back-country section through Phenn Basin, over Huntington Gap, and then through the wilds of Camel's Hump State Park to Camel's Hump Rd. in Huntington. Approximately two miles of trail are collocated on a snowmobile corridor.
Length: 10.3 miles
Difficulty:
This section is very remote and requires advanced skiing abilities. It includes many steep climbs and descents. The snowmobile portion is groomed, but steep and remote. The descent to Camel’s Hump Rd. is very steep. We recommend you ski with three or more skiers and bring climbing skins.
