| One thing we all neglected to mention -
some of these peaks are developed as ski areas (Ellen, Madonna, Mansfield, Killington). Mansfield has a toll road to the top, and TV towers, etc... I guess you'd say it was VT's version of Mt Washington.
So if you are looking to get away from that - stick to Camel's Hump (which offers numerous trail/loop options from either side) or Abraham.
On place I forgot to mention - a little south of Camel's Hump, is Burnt Rock. Open summit with nice views in all directions, some scrambling over ledges and cobbles. Could be part of a trip in the Camel's Hump region if you arrange car shuttles (or double back on your steps). |
