BRANDON-ROCHESTER HIGHWAY TO COOLEY GLEN SHELTER

From the summit of the Brandon-Rochester Highway, The Long Trail ascends steeply northward to the Great Cliff of Mount Horrid. Fine views. A side trail to the east runs along the edge of the cliff. The Trail continues along the sky line over the peaks of Mount Horrid, Cape Lookoff, White Rocks and Romance Mountains and descends thence into Romance Gap. Excellent lookouts on each peak. From Romance Gap it leads around on good grade to Sucker Brook Shelter. Sunrise Camp to Sucker Brook Shelter, 7 1/2 miles; time, 8 hours; from Brandon-Rochester Highway, 6 1/2 miles; time, 7 hours (southbound, the same).

Sucker Brook Shelter, built of peeled logs; open front, bunks for 16 or 18 persons, stove and simple cooking utensils, good water.

The Trail ascends around Sucker Brook Basin and then bears northward for Lake Pleiad Camp and the Middlebury-Hancock Pass. About 1/4 mile from Sucker Brook Shelter, a side trail on the right leads to Sucker Brook Lookout, with a good view of the Basin. The Long Trail ascends gradually and then steeply to the Summit of Worth Mountain. South Worth, Hancock and Monastery Lookouts on this mountain furnish excellent views, the first over Romance Gap and the mountains to the south, the last two over Hancock Valley to the east. Two miles north from the summit, at a point where the Trail begins an abrupt descent to Lake Pleiad, is a short side trail on the left to Lake Pleiad Lookout, with a fine view of Pleiad Lake, Breadloaf Mountain and the Hancock Valley.
