Ilse's Triple Crown (ITC) is Old Speck, Puzzle Mountain, and Rumford Whitecap back to back to back with drive time included. It’s about 20 miles with a Garmin-reported 8,350 feet of vertical.

Complete Route

Mostly dirt route starting at the Kawuneeche Visitor Center (west entrance), climbing the North Inlet Trail over Flattop Mountain, and descending to the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center (east entrance).

The course covers a traverse of the park, moving through sub alpine, alpine, and riparian areas. Starting and ending at the visitor centers allows easy shuttling and gives the athlete claim to have covered the complete width of the park. The west side provides much more solitude than the busier east side. All of the park's large ungulates can be seen along this route.

After leaving the Common, cut through the public garden and take a left on Dartmouth St working your way onto the Southwest Corridor. 

Next up cut through the Arnold Arboretum before passing through Bellevue, Dedham, onto Washington street and through the center of Norwood.  

From there, cut through South Walpole on route to Foxborough, and Attleboro.  After passing through North Seekonk, cross into Pawtucket, RI at mile 41.  

Complete entrance to Providence via the Washington Bridge, through India Point Park, and follow the River / Canal Walk up to Smith st.
