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
9.9 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. Bring climbing skins.
Staying Found
Out in the woods keeping track of where you are can be a challenge. A map and compass is always a reliable option, but there are some great technological solutions that can make knowing where you are super simple. Please visit out Staying Found Webpage for more info about some of our favorite navigational tools, and note that all of our PDF maps are geo-referenced. This means they can be opened directly in apps like Avenza and used for navigation even in areas where there is no cell service.
