North-bounders Arriving in Vermont
Northbound travelers enter Vermont from Massachusetts by way of climbing out of the Hoosic river valley along Sherman brook, crossing it twice on foot bridges, then walking through Clarkburg state forest and finally coming upon Pete′s spring shortly before the state line.
Once the hiker is on the Appalachian Trail in Vermont the footpath traverses north along the Green Mountain ridge to US 4 and the Long Trail Inn. At this junction, the Long Trail splits from the AT and continues north along the same Green Mountain ridgeline, however, the AT turns eastward upon what is called by many, the Maine Junction trail. This section of the Appalachian Trail crosses over a series of mountain ridges until it arrives at the Norwich, Vermont to Hanover, New Hampshire bridge, which bridge spans across the Connecticut river.
