discouraged), water-purifying tablets.
What to wear // Dress in layers, including hat and gloves.

Things to know // High-altitude sections around Mt Mansfield and Camel’s
Hump typically close during Vermont’s ‘mud season’ (late March to late May),
when trailside vegetation is especially vulnerable to trampling.
