Ascent of Mount Ellen on 2011-07-23| Date: | Saturday, July 23, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Mount Ellen | | Location: | USA-Vermont | | Elevation: | 4083 ft / 1244 m |
Ascent Trip ReportJerusalem trail up then the Long Trail to the summit. Trailhead was a bit difficult to find, our car was the only one there when we arrived and when we left. Very quiet on the Jerusalem Trail. I particularly enjoyed walking along the ridge on the Long Trail portion, nice views occasionally though we weren't above the tree line.
Made the ascent during an unusual Vermont heat wave. In the upper 70's at the summit, made for a pleasant picnic at the top of the Sugarbush chair lift. Nice views both east and west from here.
