Woodstock, a famous summer resort, with an all-year hotel, WOODSTOCK INN, one of the famous hostelries of the State, with approaches from the valley of the Connecticut.

Pico Junction is two miles from Sherburne Pass, where a side trail leads up northerly slope of Mt. Pico to summit; fine views en route and panorama from fire-station tower at wooded summit. Trail down east slope rejoins Long Trail; a brief detour well worth the short extra time and climb.

A short distance south of Pico Junction, the new Pico Camp has been located on the east slope of Mt. Pico, overlooking Killington, Mount Ascutney at Windsor and all the ranges southeasterly into New Hampshire. This camp is built of peeled balsam logs, open front, with stove, bunks for 24, steel roof, a stone fireplace in front and unfailing water close at hand. It is an easy three-mile walk from the Lodge and is very much visited. In connection with this camp is a shower bath, the only one yet constructed on the whole trail.

At Pico Junction a side trail runs around the west side of the summit of Mt. Pico, connecting with The Long Trail again just south of the summit. Near this point and a short distance south of Pico Camp, The Long Trail divides into two routes around the ridge between Pico and Killington; one route runs along the west side of this ridge and the other along the top on the east side. Both routes are painted white, being same distance, and hikers find pleasure and variety in going one route and returning the other.

Pico Camp to Killington Camp, three and one-half hours.

Killington Camp, a round sheet-metal hut, with a stove. Wonderful westerly view from ruins of old hotel close by, where there is a very fine spring. A trail goes out to the west from here to Rutland. East of the huts there is a steep scramble (15 minutes) to the summit of Mt. Killington (4,241) second highest peak in the State. Extensive panorama from the summit; a side trail drops easterly from the summit to West Bridgewater.

The Trail now passing down from Killington south, at one and one-half miles reaches a branch of Cold River, and follows on the north bank of this beautiful trout stream three miles to the highway at the Gov. Clement Camp, but passing one half mile above the Blue Triangle Camp.

The Gov. Clement Camp, built in 1929, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Field, is a stone hut, supplied with stove, bunks and fireplace, and holds ten or more.

The Blue Triangle Camp, recently erected, is a closed frame cabin, suitable for twelve and is the gift of the Blue Triangle Club of the State Y. W. C. A.

The old Herb Haley place is no longer available, but on the road one mile south of the Clement Camp, a few rods east of where the trail crosses the highway is the home of Mrs. Edmond Balch, a good place for hikers to stop. Boarders are also desired, and in the winter she will take parties of six or eight, provided reservation is made. Address, North Clarendon, Vt., R. F. D.
