BOLTON LODGE TO FRENCH CAMP

From Bolton Lodge the Trail continues northward up the valley, ascending at first gradually and then more steeply. Two and one-half miles north of the Lodge the Trail passes the old Dunsmoor Lodge, now abandoned, from which there is a wonderful view to the south. After 1 1/4 miles more climbing, mostly through spruces, the wooded summit of Bolton Mountain (3,725 feet) is reached. The old observation tower is in poor repair and should be used with caution, as it may be dangerous to climb. In clear weather it affords a fine view in all directions, including Camel's Hump and the Lincoln Range to the south, Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks to the southwest and west, Mount Mansfield to the north and the Worcester Range to the northeast and east. Bolton Lodge to summit of Bolton Mountain, 3.6 miles, 3 hours (southbound, 1 3/4 hours). From the summit of Bolton Mountain the Trail drops rapidly about 800 feet to the saddle between

Bolton Mountain and Mount Admiral Mayo, rises to the wooded summit of Admiral Mayo (3,160 feet) and then descends 550 feet to the notch between Mount Admiral Mayo and Mount Admiral Clark. From here the Trail follows the ridge 1/2 mile northward and then drops, swinging around the east side of Admiral Clark, with several beautiful outlooks towards Lake Mansfield, to Taylor Lodge, at the east end of Nebraska Notch. This is a very comfortable closed lodge, built of peeled logs by the Burlington Section in 1926 and named for James P. Taylor, the founder of The Green Mountain Club. Bolton Lodge to Taylor Lodge, 7.4 miles, 5 hours (southbound, 5 hours). Taylor Lodge provides bunks with mattresses for 14 to 16 and a good stove, but to get water it is necessary to go several hundred feet down the approach trail (10) towards Lake Mansfield, turning off to a small brook at a sign. From an outlook back of the Lodge, one looks down on Lake Mansfield, surrounded by wooded hills and mountains, while across the valley north of the Lodge rugged cliffs and ledges tower into the sky. Approach Trail No. 10 leads down from Taylor Lodge to Lake Mansfield and the highway at the Mansfield Trout
