The 2,185 miles of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail spans over fourteen states from Maine to Georgia. From the Connecticut River to the Green Mountains, Vermont offers 150 miles of the Appalachian Trail. This section of the trail begins at Kent Pond and travels through scenic hardwood forests. There is a steep incline in the first mile of the hike and then it evens out with some slight elevation changes. Avoid hiking the trails from April through to May, the wet sloppy conditions leads to serious trail erosion.
