7. Kingsford Trail--Steep, but well marked, one of the most interesting of the trails as the views are magnificent. Runs along the ridge from a point 3-4 mile south of Needle's Eye direct to Trout Club, 4 miles. 8. Mculds Trail--From summit of State Road near Smugglers' Cave to Sterling Pond (1.14 miles). Good route from Jeffersonville to Johnson.. This trail to Smuggler's Notch, and Highway through Notch form most interesting route from Sterling Pond to Barnes' Camp. 9. Taft Trail--Leaves State Road a few hundred feet north of Barnes' Camp via old logging road. 2 miles to Taft Lodge, Main Long Trail. 10. Hell Brook (Morse) Trail--Leaves State Road in Smugglers' Notch opposite Big Spring and is a fine but very steep trail, 1 mile to Lake of the Clouds where it joins trails to Taft Lodge and Hotel.

11. Robert Lance Trail--Connects highway at The Lodge with top of mountain via Haselton Trail. 2 1-4 miles from Lodge to Haselton Trail. 3 miles to Summit House.

12. Fern Trail--Leaves Taft Lodge at the spring and runs southwest to "Wall St.," a deep crevice with perpendicular walls about 150 yards southeast of the Cave of the Winds, and thence to Hotel by what is sometimes called the Garden of Eden Trail. Very rough.

13. By-pass Trail Around Forehead--Leaves Long Trail just south of Nose and rejoins it at Needle's Eye. Avoids rugged climb over Forehead on Long Trail but lacks fine views and interest of latter. 14. Cut-off Trail (Taft Lodge to Hell Brook Trail)--shortest route from Smuggler's Notch road to Taft Lodge is by way of Hell Brook Trail and this cut-off. 15. Haselton Trail--Barnes Camp to Mt. Mansfield Hotel, 2.3 miles. 16. Pleasant Valley Trail--Obscure and little used.

Division C Bolton, Camels Hump to Stark Mts. CAMEL'S HUMP (Couching Lion) REGION Side Trails 1. Couching Lion Farm Trail. The old Callahan trail. Runs directly by the north side of house to huts on Camel's Hump. This is the usual route from North Duxbury or Waterbury to the summit. Couching Lion Farm can be reached by auto from either town. Leave cars in field at the farm. Couching Lion Farm to Club Huts, about 3 miles, North Duxbury 3 3/4 miles, Waterbury 8 miles. 3. Branch to Montclair Glen Lodge from Couching Lion Farm Trail, 1 mile. 4. "Forest City" Trail to Montclair Glen Lodge, 2 miles. "Forest City" is 3 miles from Huntington Center (stage to Richmond). 5. Beane's Trail. Birch Glen Lodge to Frank Beane Farm, 1 mile. 1 mile from farm to Hanksville (store) where Mrs. Frank Beane has new home (rooms and board; phone, Jonesville central; mail address, Starksboro, R. F. D.) The mountain now commonly called Camel's Hump was called by early French explorers Le Lion Couchant, Couching Lion, and was known by the Waubanakee Indians by the descriptive name Tahwah-bede-e Wadso, Saddle Mountain. Seen from the Lake, or looking due west from the opposite side, its likeness to the heraldic lion couchant is striking; from the north or south its sugar-loaf cone slightly resembles the hump of a camel, while from other view points the saddleback appearance is striking. It is, with the Mansfield region, a most dramatic part of the Green Mountain range; its rocky cone towering above treeline gives widespread panoramas and its cliff affords pleasurable thrills to the users of The Trail. Between it and Bolton Mountain the Winooski River (old-timers still call it The Onion River) has cut a deep gorge through which
