Intersected by a few well-known trails, Mendon Peak is the tenth highest summit in Vermont with a total height of 3,840 feet.

Although it’s not as well known as its neighbor, Killington Peak, Mendon Peak’s trail-less slopes still receive quite a bit of foot traffic. It’s the beauty and the challenge of the trail that keeps bringing visitors old and new to the foot of Mendon Peak. The best way to explore the mountain is from the Bucklin Trail trailhead.

The trail starts on an old logging road that is no longer being maintained, before veering into a thick bushwhack-filled climb. Mendon Peak is also a great place to start for people who are trying to log multiple peaks on the Long Trail. Mendon Peak
