Spruce Mountain
Trail Length: 4.5 miles
Vertical rise: 1,340 feet
Difficulty: Moderate
For me, the hike up Spruce Mountain was a bit more than moderate and I've seen other posts on internet voicing the same sentiment. It was an enjoyable hike and the view from the fire tower at the top were excellent.
By the time we had completed the hike, my legs were moaning. On the way back from the hike we stopped at Bragg Farms and had a Maple Creemee. Creemee is the terminology used here to refer to soft serve ice cream. The maple flavor of the creemee came from 100% Vermont Maple Syrup. It was a delight.

You just road 182 miles on your bike and weren't sore, but you can't climb a stinkin' mountain? What is wrong with you? Are you 56 or something? -andrea :o)
Congratulations on both the climb and the 182 mile bike journey. I am no longer able to do either. So, climb mountians and ride more miles and live life to the fullest, while you are able. There will be more then enough days to just sit and rock.
Peace and loving kindness, Tim
Just climbed Spruce Mountain today. Very nice hike, though you are right, it's tough. The lovely views have not changed. We stopped in South Barre for soft serve afterwards.
