Starting the Moriah Challenge

The Moriah Challenge requires doing four hikes, of easy to medium difficulty. After finishing up the Tupper Lake Triad, we decided to tackle a couple of them, since it was in the direction of home.




First up was Belfry, which does double duty as a fire tower peak. It's a very, very easy hike, even with snow, since it's less than half a mile to the top. However, from the top were great views (made possible by very clear weather).

After this we upped the game, a little, by tackling Cheney Mountain, a whopping .9 one-way to the top.



There are several viewpoints on this peak, one of which is nice views of Lake Champlain.
