While this hike could be considered moderate to an experienced hiker, wet rocks and roots can still be difficult to negotiate. Mud is also likely in the spring, earning Vermont its nickname "Vermud" among thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail. Despite its status as a summer hike, its speculated that some snowshoe the route during the winter. Early into the hike, you'll pass several abandoned cabins that are likely only used as winter warming huts, or as shelter from summer thunderstorms.

Parking is limited where the trail begins, but the town of Killington suggests finding a spot on the east side Old Turnpike Road, maybe closer to Rt. 4. Make sure you allocate extra time for the road walk, since it could add up to 30 minutes depending on where you park.
