SUMMIT-BOUND HIKING TRAILS

Mt. Ascutney is a unique mountain, as it is one of the few monadnock (stand-alone) mountains in the Northeast, and is unusually steep all the way around.  For decades hikers and trail-runners have been ascending and descending the mountain via it’s challenging trail network.  The summit offers 360 degree views of the Connecticut river valley and surrounding towns.  The Ascutney Parkway offers a paved auto road for those wanting alternate access to the top via motor vehicle, motorcycle or bicycle.
