guaranteed to cool off the perspiring hiker on the hottest day. Killington Camps to Pico Shelter, 3 miles, 1 3/4 hours (southbound, 2 hours). 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 1/2 mile to Pico Junction, where the trail down from the peak comes in from the left. Southbound hikers wishing to go over the summit of Pico Peak, without retracing should leave the main trail at Pico Junction and take the branch trail leading from there over the summit. 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 and continues down the north slope of the mountain to THE LONG TRAIL LODGE in Sherburne Pass. Pico Shelter to LONG TRAIL LODGE, 2.6 miles, 1 1/2 hours (southbound, 2 hours). Pico Peak to THE LONG TRAIL LODGE, 2.6 miles, 1 1/2 hours (southbound, 2 1/4 hours). 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. THE LONG TRAIL LODGE, a gift to the Club in 1923 from Mr. Mortimer R. Proctor and his mother, Mrs. Fletcher D. Proctor, may be regarded as the home of The Green Mountain Club. The main building, set between moss-covered ledges in the midst of sweeping woods, is a structure of unique beauty, and expresses, in sofar as a building can, the true spirit of the wilderness. It is a real masterpiece of woodland architecture, and yet it is equipped with all the comforts and conveniences
