Description

It is relatively flat for the first 1/2 mile. The trail joins an old summit carriage road here. It is wide and easy to follow.



The mountain was once the site of The Grand View Hotel, built in 1870 by Jonas N. Smith. The hotel burned down but its foundations and the open vista of Lake Champlain remain. Smith's stage coach road to the summit is now a hiking trail. In memory of the hotel, the view from the summit is named "Grand View."



Expect to find white-tailed deer, cottontail rabbit, grey squirrel, coyote, bobcat, woodcock, turkey and ruffed grouse. This is a good fall hawk migration watching site. Elevation gain - approx 1,000'
