Sunset Rock
The Sunset Rock hike on The Long Trail is relatively short outing that quickly takes the participant to absolutely spectacular views of the Champlain Valley and the Adirondack Mountain Range from an elevation of over 2000 feet.
Once at the trail head, follow the white-blazed Long Trail South markings to the Green Mountain National Forest registration box. The trail starts with a moderate ascent through a high range forest as it enters the Bread Loaf Wilderness Area. After the trail experiences a number of steeper switchbacks, it will traverse a number of large rock croppings which may become slippery in wet conditions.
As the trail begins a slight decline you will come upon a large rock overhang facing west towards Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.
From the intersection of Rt. 100 and Rt. 17 travel 5 miles south on Rt. 100 to just sought of Warren village and make a right onto Lincoln Gap Road. Travel up Lincoln gap road approximately 4 miles. Two dirt parking areas will appear on right side of road. Trail head is just past second parking area on the left hand side of the road.
Distance: 2.2 mi. round trip; Elevation Gain: 430 ft
