Camel's Hump which actually is shaped like a camel's hump ranks second tallest at 4,083 feet. You can hike to the top of both mountains during the summer and fall. The views at their summits are amazing any season. On a clear day, the peaks of Mount Washington all the way from New Hampshire can even be seen. During the fall, Vermont is populated by leaf peepers who visit our state to see the fall foliage which can be best seen at the peaks of these mountains.
Snow covered tops are a common sight during the winter months.
Many people visit Vermont to downhill and cross-country ski during the winter and to camp and hike these mountains in the summer and fall. Vermont's Lake Champlain is the sixth largest body of fresh water in the United States. We share the lake with our neighbors New York and Canada. During the winter the lake may freeze over. Sometimes you can find Vermonters ice fishing or even ice skating on the frozen lake.
