(named for the late Judge Seneca Haselton of Burlington), leading direct to Barnes Camp. From the hotel The Long Trail runs northward along the crest of the mountain, mostly over bare rocks, 1.4 miles to the summit of the Chin, the highest point in the State of Vermont, 4,393 feet above sea level. The view from here is one of unsurpassed beauty and variety—rugged, wooded mountains, fertile valleys, winding rivers, friendly villages and shining lakes. On clear days one can see the steamers on Lake Champlain, nearly 100 miles of whose length are visible, as well as the distant peaks of the White and Adirondack Mountains, the whole Green Mountain chain from Killington Peak to Canada and, if one knows where to look, Mount Royal at Montreal. Descending the steep and rocky north end of the Chin, with charming views of the little Lake of the Clouds (no high mountain is complete without one), the Trail reaches Eagle Pass, between the Chin and the Adam's Apple, where it turns sharply to the right and descends to Taft Lodge. This comfortable log cabin, with bunks for 32, is the largest hikers' lodge on The Long Trail, and was built in 1920 with funds provided by the late Elihu B. Taft, a Burlington lawyer who loved the mountains. The Burlington Section of The Green Mountain Club keeps a caretaker at the Lodge during the hiking season, and a charge of 50 cents a night is made; blankets are furnished. The caretaker usually keeps a few simple supplies for sale. A large cook-stove, equipped with an oil burner, is available for the use of hikers. Meals are not served.
