Overview

The rural and wild landscape of southern Vermont offers a true bounty of great trail-running opportunities, from out-and-back (or point-to-point) runs on popular long-distance routes, such as segments of the Long Trail or the Appalachian Trail, to little-known loops hidden away in the woods. This helpful guide is just the resource needed for trip planning or for a spontaneous run in a beautiful place. Local expert trail runner Ben Kimball offers a range of suggested route options, sometimes even several at the same site, for runners of all skill levels. He also provides important practical information, such as the full distance of the suggested route; a difficulty rating; the trail style and type; the total ascent; and directions, along with a detailed description of the trail itself. The trails included vary in difficulty and terrain type, and range from low elevations in the Connecticut River Valley to as high as 4,000 feet at Killington Peak. This indispensable book is the perfect companion for adventurous runners and hikers interested in exploring southern Vermont.
