Mt. Ascutney Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Climbing Mount Ascutney offers an intense, lung-busting experience as you tackle one of the steepest paved mountain ascents in the United States, winding up through Vermont's forested state park. Prepare for an immediate and unrelenting challenge over approximately 3.7 miles, gaining around 2,300 ft to reach the upper parking lot near 2,900 ft elevation. You'll battle an average gradient of a brutal 11-12%, featuring sustained pitches significantly exceeding 15% and reportedly hitting 20% or more, offering almost no recovery.
