Many locals hike Snake Mountain year-round—each visit feels new! So whether you’re exploring new trails or revisiting favorites, Vermont’s hiking scene never disappoints. If you loved Snake Mountain, check out Mt. Philo in Charlotte for similar sweeping Champlain Valley views with a shorter but rewarding climb. A Vermont State Park, Mt. Philo offers both a paved road and an interior trail with stairs—perfect for a quick hike or multiple loops to match Snake Mountain’s challenge.

For a deeper Green Mountain adventure, head an hour inland for longer, summit-worthy hikes:

  • Mt. Abraham (Lincoln) – A classic Long Trail peak with stunning views. View details.
  • Sky Pond Trail (Ripton) – A scenic, tranquil hike through Vermont’s forests. View details.
  • Camel’s Hump (Huntington) – One of Vermont’s most iconic and rewarding climbs. View details.
