Section 26: Route 15 to Wiley Brook

Snapshot:

This section comprises gently hilly terrain with the southern half mostly ungroomed while much of the northern half follows VAST snowmobile corridors where traffic may be heavy on weekends.

Length: 9.3 miles. Just north of Wiley Brook, a 1.6-mile spur trail leads north, to East Hill Rd.

Difficulty:

This section requires an intermediate level of technical skills. Most of the hills are wide and moderate in slope, with generally packed snow conditions on the snowmobile corridors. A steep but wide-open hill 400 yards south of Sand Hill Rd is good for telemark practice. Bailout points are available at Sand Hill Rd., Collins Pond Rd./Garfield Rd., and East Hill Rd.
