About this event
We will be hiking Spruce Mountain in Plainfield Vermont. Afterwards we'll head to Montpelier for lunch -- we'll plan to eat at 1:30 at "The Skinny Pancake" restaurant. If you can't do lunch then just join for the hike.
Resturant: https://skinnypancake.com/location/montpelier-restaurant/
The hike is an approximate 4.3 mile moderate hike (out & back) with about a 1,158 elevation gain.
Bring snacks and water. Make sure to bring microspikes / snowshoes and dress in layers.
about SPRUCE MOUNTAIN:
The mountain is located in LR Jones State Forest, the oldest State Forest in Vermont. The 2.2 mile trail (one way) to the summit of Spruce Mountain, a 3,037 foot peak, climbs moderately as it passes through hardwood forests. As it approaches and goes through spruce and fir forest, the latter part of the trail becomes a bit steeper.
At the top, there is a climbable fire tower that offers a 360° view of the surrounding area (access to the fire tower may be limited based on conditions).
