Stratton Mountain is one of the most iconic peaks on the Long Trail, but not for its height, but rather for its historical significance. It was here in 1909 that James P. Taylor first imagined a “footpath in the wilderness,” which eventually became the Long Trail. The summit is forested, but a restored fire tower (that you can climb!) offers expansive 360-degree views of southern Vermont and the surrounding peaks. Today, Stratton is also home to a major ski resort, but the Long Trail bypasses the commercial slopes, staying on a quieter, wooded path. A nearby shelter, Stratton Pond Shelter, provides a peaceful overnight spot, just a short hike from the summit. This is a pretty built-up shelter (especially in comparison to the more common, simple three-sided lean-tos) so it's worth checking out even if you're not spending the night.

Mount Olga stands just 2,415 feet (737 m) tall, but still offers grand views over the surrounding landscape — especially if you climb the fire lookout tower at the summit.

The trees part to make way for outcroppings of stone at the summit which offer great views of the forest and north Brattleboro.

The top of Stratton Mountain supports a fire lookout tower that is on the National Register of Historic Places. As you might imagine, the views from up here are great.

From the top of this mountain you are close to the ski resort "L'Ermitage". You also have exceptional views, especially on the Harriman Reservoir.

The Putney Mountain area is offering more than 800 acres of conserved land along with around 15 miles of hiking trails along the Windmill Hill Ridgeline.
