An excellent trek for experienced hikers hoping for a great workout.

The Long Trail to the Chin and Profanity Trail is a 3.8 mile hike, with 2765 feet of elevation gain. Prepare accordingly: this trail is best trafficked on a sunny day, when the trail is free from mud or slippery rocks and roots. Part of this trail involves some scrambling above a cliff edge. The summit is open and fairly flat, so there is lots of space to spread out, enjoy the views, and have a picnic lunch.

The trail features beautiful views year-round, with gorgeous spring flowers and fall colors. Dogs are allowed on this trail, but bring a leash!

The trail was re-routed in 2017 so it doesn’t hit 108 where shown. The Long Trail to Mt. Mansfield Chin, starts 1/2 mile east on 108, at Barnes Camp Visitor Center and Trailhead. Starts on the Barnes Camp side of the road across a boardwalk and eventually crosses 108.

Mt. Mansfield via the Long Trail

There are several options to reach the summit of Mount Mansfield. The Toll Road (which, appropriately, has a toll to use it), the Laura Cowles trail, the Sunset Ridge trail, Haselton Trail, the Hellbrook Trail… The most popular trail from the east side of the mountain, however, is the section of the Long Trail that I hiked. Starting at approximately 1600 feet of elevation, the trail head lo...

Hike to Bingham Falls

Hiking to Bingham Falls is rewarding for many reasons; people not only come to see the falls, but also to swim in the refreshing, icy cold swimming holes as well. The main falls are tucked away along the walls of a deep, rocky gorge that has been formed naturally over time. At the base of these falls lies large pools of teal colored water perfect for taking a dip on a hot summer's day. The tra...

Spruce Peak and Sterling Pond Loop

If you're in New England during September or early October, a drive up north into Vermont is an absolute must for prime fall foliage. I-89 brings you through the state from I-93, and is in itself a beautifully scenic drive. Stowe, Vermont is a small ski resort town located just outside of Mt. Mansfield State Forest. Surrounding the picturesque, New England village, there are incredible brewerie...

Sterling Pond Trail

Sterling Pond trail begins across the street from a parking area on Route 108, about 3 miles south of Smugglers' Notch Resort. Keep in mind that the road is closed to vehicles once the snow falls, so if you want to hike this area in the winter, you'll have to park about 40 minutes away and hike in to the trailhead. This trail is a short 1.1 miles each way, with a 1000' gain in elevation. It'...

Hike Mt. Hunger

Mt Hunger stands at 3540 ft and face Vermont's tallest mountain, Mt Mansfield. At 45 min drive from Burlington, this is a challenging out and back hike. The views it offers and the waterfalls you will find along the path, makes it a good alternative to the overcrowded trails of Mt Mansfield. The easiest way to get there is to take Loomis Hill Rd then Sweet Farm Rd from Waterbury Center. Enjoy...
