Killington Peak Hike
<p>An Early Fall Hike Up Killington</p>
Details
NOTE:  Originally scheduled for Sunday, September 28th, this hike has been re-scheduled for SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5th due to weather.
Join me for a hike on Killington, the second highest peak in Vermont (4241').  There are panoramic views from the summit across the Green Mountains and into the Adirondacks and Whites (there is a firetower on top, which may or may not be accessible).  We'll hike the Bucklin Trail to and from the summit.  The trail has a moderate grade with a short scramble up large rocks to the open peak.  The total distance is 7.2 miles and it should take us approximately 5-6 hours.  We'll meet at the trailhead on Wheelerville Road (4.1 miles off Rt. 4) at 10:30AM.  Typical summer/fall hiking wear:  shorts or convertible hiking pants, good sturdy hiking boots and thick socks, lunch, snacks and plenty of water.  Optional:  bug repellant, sunscreen, windbreaker/fleece.  If there's interest, we'll cap off the hike with dinner at a local restaurant.
