Possible brief stop at the convenience store in Baptistown if we need it. | This tour is the reverse of Echo Hill to the Flateau Plateau. Thus, it travels the same lightly trafficked roads of the Hunterdon Plateau, but offers a strenuous climb up White Bridge Rd. and a pleasant, long downhill on Cherryville Hollow Rd.
