cold spring beside the Trail, and below it, taking its water from the spring, is the only shower bath on The Long Trail, natural waterfalls excepted. It is guaranteed to cool off the perspiring hiker on the hottest day. Distance from Killington Camps to Pico Shelter, 3 miles; time, 2 to 3 hours (southbound, about the same).

On Pico Peak is a steel observation tower with glass-enclosed top, as the summit is wooded, and the view is quite similar to that from Killington, though somewhat less extensive. A fire warden is usually at the tower on dry days during the summer, and can give much information about the outlook. From Pico Shelter, The Long Trail runs north half a mile to Pico Junction, where the trail down the north side of the peak from the summit comes in from the left. From Pico Junction the Trail zig-zags down the north slope for some distance to the first turn to the west, where the branch trail (blue blazes) around the west side of Pico Peak comes in. This trail runs around the west side of the peak and joins The Long Trail in the saddle south of Pico. The Trail continues down the north slope of the mountain to THE LONG TRAIL LODGE in Sherburne Pass. Distance from Pico Shelter, 2 1/2 miles; from summit of Pico Peak, 2 1/2 miles; from Killington Camps, 5 1/2 miles. Time from Pico Shelter or Peak, 2 hours; from Killington Camps, 4 to 5 hours (southbound, allow 1 hour more). Just beyond the Lodge the Trail crosses the highway over Sherburne Pass (U. S. Route No. 4). On the north side of the road is Deer's Leap Shelter with stove and bunks for 12. A charge of 25c a person per day is made here to cover the cost of fuel and care of the camp. Blankets may be rented at The Long Trail Lodge for a small fee.
