Bucklin Trailhead Wheelerville Road, Mendon, VT 05701

"Wow. This was hard. My husband and I went to the Grand Canyon this year and so we thought “oh we could do this hike, easy” …. NOPE. This was hard. Literally had to climb the edge of the mountain to get to the top. But it was worth it. It was beautiful just be prepared to be sore for days afterwards!"

"Nice parking lot with plenty of space. Trail is well marked on the Bucklin side. it probably looks really good in the fall. I wouldn't recommend for little children."

"Quintessential Green Mountains hike. There's the mellow foothills along a brook, a couple footbridges, & moderate steeps finished with some rocky scrambling leading you above treeline. Good stuff."

"Was a difficult hike for us, since it was our first hike of the year and there was snow and quite steep climbs. However, my girlfriend and I are not in perfect physical condition but were able to have a great time and made it to top, it was fantastic."

"This trail up to Killington Peak was phenomenal! Locals said the trail was flat for approximately 2 miles but it was actually a pretty good incline. The last hour of hiking is extremely steep but the trail is still super nice. The last .2 miles is literally straight up rocks to the top. You’ll have to use your hands to get up some of the rocks. The top is an insane view! There is a restaurant that has amazing food looking out over everything! There is also a gondola that will take you down to the bottom of Killington Slopes. Definitely take some water with you because you will be sweating on this hike."
