Your Dog's Favorite Hikes In Vermont

Submitted by Angela and Rusty
We always enjoy the hike up Camels Hump. We prefer the DeanTrail-Long Trail-Monroe Trail route although there are some steep rock climbs that are for athletic dogs only. It starts with a rolling walk through light woods and then ascends moderately to the fork of the loop. The Dean Trail climbs through thick birches and past a beaver pond at the foot of the mountain to the Long Trail. Eventually you get above the tree line at 4,083 feet. The Monroe Trail is a steady downhill but is easier than the Dean with no rock climbs. The total distance is a bit over 7 miles with Camel's Hump Brook coming into play for dog refreshment. Afterwards the separate View Trail Loop is a nice cool-down walk with a view of where we just came from on top of the mountain.

I wouldn't call it our favorite hike but it is different. That would be the Elephant's Trail at Smuggler's Notch. It is a wild walk that starts with a climb from the notch up and around Sterling Pond that gets hairy halfway around the pond where you encounter an impassable rock climb for a dog which forces a backtrack and bushwhacking through thick pines to get back to the trail. From there the path is seldom level with hopping from root to rock until you take a little downhill sidepath to Elephant's Head which is a small clearing at the top of a 1000-foot cliff. You finish the 6.5-mile trek by swtching back down the mountain and across a rock slide.

I looked up your site anxious to find hikes in Vermont.  I noticed that you listed no National Parks in Vermont where dogs are welcomed.  Even though Vermont only has one NP (Marsh-Billing-Rockefeller National Historical Park), it is dog (on leash) friendly and offers 20 miles of hiking trails.   If you would like to call to confirm this the phone # is (802) 457-3368.  Thanks.  I think many people would love to share this beautiful area with their four-legged friends.
