The trip report

Written by Helvetic Hiker

We were four on this 4.2 miles hike up Spruce Peak in Central Vermont. The trail condition were a bit icy but nothing microspikes couldn't handle. It was on the widy side at the top of the fire tower.
We trailed down in a little over an hour before heading to the local Irish pub and and made right one time before a band of showers popped in. It was a very pleasant day with great company.

About this event

Spruce Mountain is a 4.3 out-and-back trail with a 1,200 foot gain. The hike narrative can be found here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/vermont/spruce-mountain.

Dress appropirately, bring micro-spikes, warm clothing (fat, gloves, scarf etc), water as needed (this is not a long hike) and Fido.

After the hike (we should be done by 12:30), we'll head out to Barre for lunch and drinks.

We meet at 9:50 for a 10:00 sharp departure.

Bad weather cancels the hike and we'll meet for lunch directly instead.

For lunch, I'm planning on meeting at Mulligan's Irish Pub in Barre
