Found this hike in the Green Mountain Club's "Day Hiker GUIDE to Vermont". REALLY good trail for anybody who doesn't want bad footing or scrambles. 2.3 miles each way and relatively flat with only about 1200' elevation gain - could be easily run if you're so inclined. Terrific views from the couple of outlooks.
This is also a former firetower peak. Footings were a little challenging to find as they are hidden in the 1st bump/outlook and not at the actual summit. The are .4miles from the actual summit.
Really nice and nobody there. |
