Trail up to Mendon was easier then I thought it would be because some maps showed a trail and other didn't, its a well established trail. The trail from to little Killington breaks from the trail to Mendon at the 3440' mark where you will see a large pipe with a sled and stuff for winter rescue use and there is a small herd path to follow with landscaping tape to make it easier as the trail narrows the further you ascend. The hard part was bushwhacking to the AT but easy because it is wide open wooded area the hard part is to make sure you head off in the right direction. On the AT I did want to rest at the Cooper lodge but to my surprise it was bordered shut for the winter it looks so I just pushed it to the top where the snow trace became greater the higher you got. On top ate my snake and headed down back to the trail head. Over all a good hike after twisting my ankle 5 weeks ago. |
