Review & FAQ:

Small but stunning, Mount Philo is a 968-foot-tall mountain in Charlotte’s Chittenden County.

A relatively easy hike, there is a single trail on the mountain that leads hikers to Philo’s summit. While a road does exist for those who want to drive to the peak instead, there are tons of awe-inspiring sights along the way that make the hike worth it. Climbing up the western facing side of the mountain, for example, allows climbers to enjoy a view of Lake Champlain Valley.

Across the lake sits the vast and majestic Adirondack Range, while reaching the summit of Mount Philo is also the best spot to take in the green beauty of the surrounding state park. Mount Philo
