The State of Vermont closes trails on Camel's Hump and Mt. Mansfield until Memorial Day to protect the fragile alpine areas. Hikers are encouraged to stay in the lower elevations and to avoid Stratton Mountain, Killington-Pico, Appalachian to Lincoln Gaps and Jay Peak. June Trail conditions can vary from muddy to dry. During the first week in June there can be a few pockets of deep snow remaining in the woods near the highest summits in northern Vermont. Blackflies usually emerge.
Spring flowers emerge.
The trail is less busy in early June than it is during July and most of August. There are more daylight hours in June than during any other month. Temperatures can range from 30's at night in higher elevations to 70's or warmer during the day. Temperatures tend to warm up through the month. Days can vary from hot and humid, to pleasant, to cold and rainy.
