Description

Very interesting glacial erratics on a hillside and in several wooded glens. The rock is somewhat abrasive and has a unique texture - it's not for everyone. If visiting, prepare for Stinging Nettles and a steep hike up the hillside to the different boulders. The gate to the forest service road is closed in Early Spring and in the Summer the Black Flies are less than wonderful. Best seasons are Late Spring just before the Black Flies or Fall. If you want to park at the gate and hike up in when it's shut the hike is a solid mile. Additionally, make sure your car has all-wheel drive. If you want to boulder alone and in peace with no outside distractions, this is the place for you.

Guidelines to follow here:

- Be respectful of other hikers, runners, and boulderers

- Don't disrupt the natural ecosystem (as with many areas, we want to preserve as much of it as possible)

- What you bring in, your bring out - NO LITTERING

- Be safe and have fun

Getting There

Follow Mountain Top Road in Chittenden, VT all the way to the very end. The road will turn into a Class Four forest service road past Mountain Top. You will cross a stream, then come to a sharp left-hand corner on the class four road, continue down it and you will eventually hit a sandpit. If the gate is closed at the sandpit you will have to continue roughly a mile past the gate on foot. If not, drive until you come into a small clearing with a small campsite on your left near Green Brook. Most of the boulders are up in the woods past the campsite.
