Description

Remote conversation area consisting of mangrove swamp, Indian River lagoon, and tons of wildlife. The route starts at the Historic Sam's House and travels through a portion of the 900-acre Pine Island Conversation Area. The first 1.5 miles consists of winding singletrack through the mangroves, then an open, grassy area where gators can be seen resting on the sides of the lagoon. Heading west down a small canal, an equine and hiking trail snakes about a half mile or so before turning back to complete the route. Bug spray is highly recommended.

Description

This route links together three classic climbs in the village of Shelburne Falls in Western Massachusetts. Each lap of the route is a challenge alone but together they are a worthy FKT route. Two of the three climbs are on pavement, the third and final climb is half paved road, half trail. The first climb is around two and a half miles long, the second is only about a half a mile long but very very steep and the third is BOTH long and steep!

Three laps, each tackling a different piece of the beautiful Shelburne Falls hillsides.
