South Trail - Mt Pisgah - Westmore, VT
This South Trail is 1.9 miles, with 1,462 feet of elevation gain, a gradual climb to the summit of Mt. Pisgah. The trail is mostly easy, though there are a few intermediate spots along the way (Ha! Right!). It's a popular hike with lots of Canadian hikers; a good place to practice your French. The views are a little farther to the West and North viewpoints. The lake is visible through the trees for most of the way. The Trailhead . It starts off flat and you soon come to a boardwalk. I caught a glimpse of a King Fisher here, but was unable to get a photo. Lots of beautiful stairs along the way. The first viewpoint looked a little precarious to me. This is as close as I would get. There was also large boulders all along the way. My guess it leftovers from the glacier (Erractics). Finally, after climbing some open rocks I arrive at the South View. The summit is in the trees with no view. This sign was stolen and we replaced it in 2023. Breathtaking North View. ...
