United States Vermont Elmore

Elmore Mountain

Tips from the community

If you're looking to escape the tourists, especially in leaf-peeping season, head out to Elmore. The trail is steep, but well maintained. You know you've reached the summit when you see the fire tower: hike up the stairs and it's the perfect cherry-on-top of this awesome climb. The surrounding Elmore State Park is quiet, serene, with easy beach access and lots of local Vermonter vibes, eh? 5.4 mile loop with about 1500ft in elevation gain.

The best part about Vermont hiking is that it's accessible: every climb is doable in a day (besides the Long Trail, we'll get to that later), with promises of beer flights and yummy local bites when you safely make your way back down. I've spent the last 10 years testing Vermont's trails so that you don't have to & here are some of my faves:
