  6. Mount Hunger - Hiking

    At 3,538’ Mount Hunger is considerably shorter than Mansfield, but a steep, fun climb and wide open rock summit give it the flavor of a 4,000+ footer. Just shy of four miles roundtrip, a 2,300’ elevation gain means you’ll be working almost the whole time.

    1-3 hours
  7. Burnt Rock Mountain
    Burnt Rock Mountain - Hiking

    Rising above the heart of the Mad River Valley, two peaks south of Camel’s Hump by way of the Long Trail, Burnt Rock is one of Vermont’s most interesting day hikes—mostly because of a few memorable rock formations near the top.
