Come on an adventure to climb the tallest peak in Vermont – a place where alpine tundra survives from the Ice Ages.

We’ll stay in remote forest house, with plenty of land around it. Located in Sterling Forest, Maple Run the house is engulfed in nature, but it also has a hot tub, a fireplace, and a dryer (just in case you need it for your hiking clothes) to relax after a long day. And it’s just our group, so we can relax with a group dinner in a dining room or hang out by the barbecue outside. After a relaxing evening away from it all, we’ll attempt the summit of Mount Mansfield, the tallest peak in Vermont. The mountain is home to true alpine tundra and breathtaking views of the surrounding Green Mountains. On our hike, we’ll summit three other peaks: Adam’s Apple, The Nose, and The Forehead. These funny-sounding names come from the visual features of the mountain. When viewed from east or west, Mansfield has distinct features of a human profile.

After a full day, we’ll make our way back to the cabins for a good night’s sleep. The next day, we’ll head back to New York, but our adventure is not over yet! On the drive back, we’ll visit the tallest point in Massachusetts – Mount Greylock. You will have the option of doing a short hike to the summit or staying in the van for a drive up to enjoy the views.

Day 1 (May 23rd)
We’ll depart at 7:00 am, stopping for lunch on the road. After arriving , we’ll get situated, then do a leisurely hike. We’ll stretch our legs, have dinner, then turn in early.

Day 2 (May 24th)
After breakfast and a drive to the trailhead, we’ll start our ascent attempt of Mount Mansfield. The ascent will be challenging, but we’ll take our time. At the summit, we’ll take in breathtaking views of the Green Mountains and admire the alpine flora that only exists in two other places in Vermont. We’ll spend the rest of the day on the trail, hiking the peaks that form the features of the human profile of Mount Mansfield. We’ll return to our cabins for dinner and a relaxing evening.

Day 3 (May 25th)
After a good night’s rest, we’ll eat breakfast and start our drive back to New York City. On the way back, we’ll stop at Mount Greylock, the tallest point in Massachusetts. There, you’ll have the option of doing a short hike to the summit, or staying in the van for a drive up.

Depending on conditions, the hike may feel closer to a CHALLENGING rating, but we will keep the pace at the INTERMEDIATE speed. There is scrambling and use of hands required for parts of the trail.
