Quarry Hill is a long ridge in South Poultney and Wells that has some of the largest and richest active slate quarries in the Slate Valley. The highlight of this ride is a climb to the top of Quarry Hill that yields an expansive view of a large active quarry and good views to the southeast toward Haystack Mountain and the Three Sisters.
You first ride south from Poultney on the Points South route to downtown Granville for a brief visit to New York. From Granville you return to Vermont and turn north toward Poultney. After climbing to the top of Hilltop Road you are rewarded with the scenic view. You are then further rewarded by a good descent to Route 31 where you return to Poultney.
