PRE SOLSTICE HIKE VERMONT
The hike will begin and end at the Appalachian Trail parking lot on Forest Road 10 about three miles east of the Junction of Route 7 and Brooklyn Road in Danby Vermont. It will depart the parking lot at 9 a.m. -- please arrive between 8:30 & 9:00 -- and follow the Green Mountain Trail, whose trailhead is a short walk west down Forest Road 10. The Green Mountain trail rises steadily about 1200 feet to the summit of Green Mountain, just to the west of Little Rock Pond, which offers views (though not of the pond) and rocks for sunning while eating a picnic lunch. From there the trail descends to the northern end of Little Rock Pond. After joining the Appalachian Trail at that point, the loop continues to the area at the south end of Little Rock Pond where we traditionally skinny-dip. Continuing two miles south down the Appalachian Trail brings you back to the parking lot on Forest Road 10 by late afternoon. The total distance is about 7 miles.
