REBUILDING THE BURROWS TRAIL ON CAMEL’S HUMP

Among Vermont’s most popular hiking trails, the Burrows Trail on Camel’s Hump is being rebuilt from the top down. 2022 and 2023 VYCC crews worked in collaboration with Green Mountain Club and Northwoods Stewardship Center to do the work. More crews in 2024 will finish up the project.
 
Keegan Tierney, VYCC alumnus and current Director of Field Programs at Green Mountain Club, said of the Burrows Trail: “It’s just being loved to death.”

Crews are re-establishing the trail to be wider than originally constructed, but narrower than what recent overuse has caused. They are rebuilding damaged stairs and widening drainage structures.

Stay tuned for a more complete summary once this huge project is complete!
