One of the most scenic sections of the Long Trail stretches from Lincoln Gap, where it crosses an unnumbered road between Lincoln and Warren, just off Route 100. From here it's about 2.5 miles to the summit of Mt. Abraham. The Long Trail crosses at a high point, giving you a head start on the ascent to Mt. Abraham's 4,052-foot summit. Although the trail has only a 1,600-foot overall rise, be prepared to do more climbing than that suggests-the trail dips steeply several places before climbing again. It's easy to find the trailhead, as the crossing is well marked. Head north on the Long Trail, staying to the left at the top of the embankment. The trail runs along a ridge covered in stunted firs and spruce trees, under moss-covered ledges and in one place between large glacial boulders. The unobstructed view from Mt. Abraham's rocky summit includes the distinctive silhouette of Camel's Hump and extends to New Hampshire's Mt. Washington, Lake Champlain, and the Adirondacks in New York.

Vermont's 5th tallest mountain at over 4,000 feet. 2.6 miles to the summit leaves you high up on the Green Mountain Ridge.

38 min away... Mount Abraham via Battel & Long Trail 5.1 miles...difficult rating. "For a shorter but equally as challenging summit hike, head to Mount Abraham near Bristol, Vermont. This gorgeous mountain peak trail is very strenuous, with lots of super steep areas and scrambling, but there are incredible views throughout the entire way, especially in the fall. To summit this mountain, scrambling is required, so be ready to use your hands and feet towards the top. Once you get up there, you’ll get a glimpse at one of the most beautiful views in the state of Vermont." The urban Outdoors
