Camel’s Hump, Alpine climbing day near Stowe, VT

With its distinctive shape and rising to 1.244 meters above sea level, Camel’s Hump outside of Stowe, Vermont is an iconic peak among the rest in the Green Mountains!

Featuring prominently on the state quarter, it is the tallest undeveloped mountain in Vermont and makes for an excellent day of alpine climbing.

After meeting up, we can approach from either the east or the west, winding through thick birch forests. The climbing comes in handy at the very end when we arrive at the rocky top.

From here, we’ll scramble to the summit and reap our reward of spectacular views. On a clear day, we will be able to see Mt Marcy in New York, Mt Mansfield, just to the north of us, and Mt Washington in New Hampshire.

Since we’re going in the winter, we’ll be able to enjoy relative solitude on the mountainside, avoiding the usual throng of hikers that frequent the peak in the summer.

So what are you waiting for? Book now and spend an amazing day alpine climbing to the summit of Stowe, Vermont’s iconic Camel’s Hump!
