58 DIVISION E

From Brandon-Rochester Pass, the trail follows an old wood road southerly one mile to Sunrise Camps, one open-front camp and a new enclosed steel camp, with stove and simple cooking utensils; camps accommodate 20 persons. Sunrise Camps to Carmel Camp, seven hours. An excellent deserted road leads from Sunrise Camps through clearing and ruined lumber camp about one and one-half miles south. Trail leaves clearing at the south and follows old road through fine hardwood forest, ascending gradually to Bloodroot Pass. Beyond here it passes through new slash and clearing, in which blazed trees have been left standing, over shoulder of Bloodroot Mountain, and drops down to Wetmore Gap, where it leaves wood road and climbs Mt. Carmel to near its summit, passing through old clearing with much high brush; watch for blazes. A side trail climbs to Grand View, the cleared top of Mt. Carmel, well worth the 20-minute scramble; fine southern panorama over Chittenden Reservoir and views of Adirondack and White Mts. to west and east. A new steel tower has been built on Carmel. About one-fourth mile south of this branch is a side trail to west, dropping down 5 minutes to Carmel Camp. Another side trail leads from this camp 1 1/2 miles to highway near "New Boston" and thence 5 miles to village of Chittenden.
