Hunger Mountain
In 2008, I was fortunate enough to spend a few months living in Vermont. To immerse myself in the outdoorsy lifestyle, I spent much of my free time hiking local trails with my trusty sidekick, Hobie, a yellow lab-husky mix. I felt confident after reading the reviews for the hike up Mount Hunger, which described it as "semi-challenging" and featuring "easy, pleasurable rock scrambling." While those descriptions were somewhat understated, it was indeed a solid hike with stunning views of Mt. Mansfield, Camel's Hump, much of the Green Mountains, and, on clear days, even the Presidential Range. Given its height, there aren't many mountains as enjoyable to climb, with such excellent vistas as those from Mount Hunger. And, after a strenuous climb up, we ended up sliding down the mountain on our backsides pretty much the whole way!
