Description

While less well known, there is a Presidential Range in the Green Mountains and this run seeks to visit all of them! Route probably should have a summit-to-summit variation as well, but given that Mount Wilson is fairly remote it feel like the route should be a complete circuit. Vermont, and its Green Mountains, are a truly beautiful area so hoping to add a twist on a classic White Mountain route to get some people out into the older New England mountains! 

Start at Lincoln Gap, take the Long Trail up to the summit of Mount Abraham (4,006 feet - have to start with the 4,000 footer!), go back down to Lincoln Gap, continue south on the Long Trail through: Mount Grant (3,623 feet), Mount Cleveland (3,482 feet), Mount Roosevelt (3,528 feet), and Mount Wilson (3,745 feet). Turnaround at the cairn on the top of Mount Wilson and then return back to Lincoln Gap.

Vermont Presi!
