After walking through a forest of moss, lichen and ferns, and navigating many water-covered rocks (which fortunately aren't too slippery), one reaches the summit of Camel's Hump with moderate effort on the Monroe Trail. Many dogs on this trail have their own packs, and inevitably ascend faster than their owners. They have four feet after all! :-)The 360 degree views from the summit of Camel's Hump are stunning -- west to Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks in New York (see photo), north to Mt. Mansfield, and east to the White Mountains. You really feel like you're on top of the world!
