Chickens–t Hill |
Take a guess where the name come from. If you climb when the wind blows a certain direction, you’ll know. This is more of a grunt hill than a climb. In total it is about 1/2 a mile and gains just over 100 feet, but there is a seriously steep section about midway through with double digit grades. | Strava, Assault on Morrow Mountain |
Morrow Mountain |
There are two ways to climb, the easy or hard way. The hard way is by entering the state park and descending to the boat ramp. From there it is a 3.7 mile climb. It is less than a mile if you turn from the entrance. The long climb starts out easily with a low grade. There is a little bit of a pitch before making the turn to the upper portion, which is generally tougher. There is one very steep section about midway to the top, and one switchback. | Strava (from bottom), Strava (from top), Assault on Morrow Mountain |
