Catamount Trail – Section 19: Route 17 to Camel’s Hump Road

Snapshot

This is a challenging, remote, back-country section through Phen Basin, over Huntington Gap, and then through the wilds of Camel’s Hump State Park to Camel’s Hump Road in Huntington. Approximately 0.3 miles of trail are co-located on a snowmobile corridor. Beautiful views highlight the climb and the descent. The bridge over Cobb Brook was constructed by Eagle Scout and VT FP&R personnel in 2002.
