United States Vermont Westmore

Mount Pisgah

A scenic peak in Westmore, VT, offering panoramic views of Lake Willoughby from its summit.

Tips from the community

A hidden gem in the North East Kingdom. Trek the 4.1 miles up Mount Pigsah for amazing views , rent a kayak from Clyde River Rec (they'll even drop them off for ya), and pop in the Willoughby Lake Store for local goodies. If you have more than a day, primitive camp sites are a'plenty. 4.1 mile out-and-back, 1653ft 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:
