brook and then crosses the old abandoned South Wallingford-Wallingford Pond Road, swings north and then northwest as it climbs the southerly ridge of White Rocks Mountain, and continues on the ridge some 2 miles to the brink of the great cliff. Here the hiker beholds a wide panorama of the Otter Creek Valley and the hills and mountains beyond. The north end of these cliffs is one of the few points from which can be seen all six of the peaks in the group named by the Vermont Legislature the "Coolidge Range," in honor of President Coolidge, whose old home is a few miles to the east, in Plymouth. The peaks are, in order of height, Killington (4,241), Pico (3,967), Little Killington (3,951), Mendon (3,837), Shrewsbury (3,737), and Salt Ash Peak (3,226).

The hiker should now watch carefully for white blazes on barns, fences and rocks, since for over a mile the Trail runs through open pastures and crosses several side roads before reaching the excellent Wallingford-East Wallingford (Wallingford Gulf) Road (Vt. Route No. 103-A) at a point half way between Wallingford and East Wallingford. At Wallingford, 3 miles west on the Rutland Railroad, is the fine and comfortable True Temper Inn, which maintains a shower room free to hikers.

In the house where the Trail crosses the Wallingford-East Wallingford Road lives Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Stork, with whom many hikers have stopped. The Storks have food for sale and a garage. About 3/4 mile away on a cross road they have a house, with a good stove, which will accommodate 6 persons.
