Camel's Hump State Park Active and Adventure Travel Tips

By Karen Berger
  • Vermont's famed Long Trail traverses the park and offers the classic route over the 4,083-foot summit. Go southbound over Bamforth Ridge for a tough (3,600 feet of elevation gain), but spectacular, ridge walk that offers views into New Hampshire and New York.
  • The Monroe Trail is one of the most popular routes to the summit. It's 6.8 miles up and back, but that includes 2,600 feet of elevation gain and loss. Figure no switchbacks and get ready to hop a lot of rocks.
  • For an easy introduction to cross-country skiing during the winter, take the one-mile Camel's Hump View loop trail, which begins near Sinnott Brook. This trail offers incredible views of Camel's Hump and has an easy grade as well as benches for resting and snacking.
  • Located in Huntington, on the west side of the park, the Camel's Hump Skier's Association maintains more than 60 kilometers of trails. These trails link to the state-long Catamount Trail. You have to join the group (for a nominal fee) to use their trails.
