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).

Passing around the north edge of the cliff, bearing east and descending rapidly, the Trail passes Greenwall Shelter, now under construction by the United States Forest Service, and in about 1/2 mile comes out of the woods at the Bulley Farm (buildings torn down). Little Rock Pond Shelter to Greenwall Shelter, 5.2 miles, 3 1/4 hours (southbound, 3 hours).

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. Greenwall Shelter to Wallingford-East Wallingford Road, 1 3/4 miles, 1 hour (southbound, 1 1/4 hours).

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.

An unofficial side trail from Wallingford Gulf Road to The Long Trail on White Rocks has been built and marked by the boys of Keewaydin Camps, Wallingford. This leaves the Gulf Road about two miles from Wallingford and passes through a recreation area of the Green Mountain National Forest.

LEAVE THE CAMPS AND GROUNDS CLEAR AND FREE FROM ALL LITTER
