50 miles ... Sua Sponte!
This event has been a dream for the last couple years.. but it's finally come to fruition! The Hellz Bellz Ultra starts at the Hantwick Road Trailhead. A gradual gravel path will soon turn into an intense and grueling single track climb up the Bells Mountain trail. After passing through multiple clear cuts, stream crossings and stunning views of Mt St Helens... around the ten plus mile mark you'll come to the Yacolt Burn Aid Station>> Upon leaving the Yacolt Burn Aid Station you will embark on a counter clock wise loop on the Tarbell Trail. It will be twenty two plus miles of technical climbs, amazing waterfalls and breath taking views, looping you back around to the same Yacolt Burn AS. >> May want to rest up for a brief moment, get your bearings before starting the last push back down the Bells Mountain trail ..for the 10 plus miles to the Finish at Moulton Falls Arch Bridge…where you'll Ring the Bell!
This event is in what we consider our backyard... we love these trails and outdoor places. While you're out there soaking in the views and rejoicing in the pain.... please leave no trace.
