Description

Locally known as the “ManHump” or “Camelsfield” Challenge, this connection in the Green Mountains is a coveted traverse by backpackers. The route is a section of the Long Trail connecting Mount Mansfield and Camels Hump summits totaling roughly 30 miles. Rob Rives, former Green Mountain Club coordinator, heard that the traverse first came about when a caretaker on Mt. Mansfield accepted a fill-in shift on Camels Hump the next morning and hiked all night to get there in time for the shift.
