When: 7:00AM October 6 出发
Where: Stowe, Vermont
Mount Mansfield is the highest mountain (4395 ft) and the most frequently
visited
mountain in Vermont with nearly 40,000 visitors walking its upper reaches
every year.
Hiking to the summit or drive to the summit
Hiking:
another hiking option: We can hike on the ski trail which is shorter and
easier (1 hour to the summit)
Directions for hiking:
To get to the LT and Haselton Trail trailheads follow VT 100 north to Stowe,
then take VT 108. The Haselton Trail starts in the Gondola Base Lodge
parking lot, the LT trailhead is 0.6 further north.
Long Trail Southbound:
One-way hiking distance: 2.3 miles
One-way elevation gain: 2800 feet
The Long Trail is the most popular route from the east side of the mountain.
This trail is very steep, but also sheltered. The Long Trail can also be
combined with other hiking routes for a loop hike. You could ascend the Hell
Brook trail then down the Long Trail. Or a trip up the Haselton Trail,
traverse the summit ridge to the chin then down the Long Trail.
Driving:
5781 Mountain Road Stowe, VT 05672
From the Toll Road: ($27 or $22 if we got 15 people)
One-way driving distance: 5 miles
One-way elevation gain: 600 feet
The Toll Road is the easiest way to the summit of Mount Mansfield.
Information about the Toll Road can be found here. This route starts from
the nose and follows the Long Trail north towards the chin. Though its the
easiest route most people hiking to the summit do not use this route. The
views along the ridge to the summit are superb.
Car pool fee: $25

发帖数: 746 | 6 2012 Foliage Season: Near-Peak Foliage Arrives!
October 2, 2012
"The foliage change appeared to intensify during the misty, atmospheric
weather of this past weekend. Near-peak to full color change is expected
along the spine of the northern Green Mountains and is beginning to emerge
in the central Vermont valleys.
This week, Vermont State Foresters and the New England Maple Museum suggest
touring higher elevations and wet lands around lakes and ponds."
