Bread Loaf Mountain is a 3,835 foot mountain located in Ripton, Vermont in Addison County in the famous Green Mountains. There are several ways to access the summit; Via the Skyline Pond Trail, off USFS 59 (Steam Mill Road), via the Clark Brook Trail off USFS 55, or via the Emily Proctor Trail off USFS 201.
Bread Loaf is flanked to the Northeast by Mount Wilson. Often these 2 mountains are peak-bagged together, since they are both on the New England Hundred highest hiking list.
The map below shows how to get to the summit of Bread Loaf Mountain as well as Mount Wilson via the Skyline Pond Trail and Long Trail. (There are several other beginning options as you can see from the map below.)
Hike on the Skyline Pond Trail for 2.5 miles until you come to a junction with the Long Trail; here you will go left on the Long Trail. Hike for 1.2 miles until you come to a spur trail on the left for Bread Loaf Mountain. (This is at the hair-pin turn on the Long Trail). Hike roughly 0.1 miles to the summit of Bread Loaf. After enjoying the summit, to head over to Mount Wilson, go back down the spur trail getting yourself back on the Long Trail. Go left on the Long Trail (right will take you where you were before). Hike for 0.6 miles until you come to a junction with the Emily Proctor Trail. Continue along the Long Trail (NOT turning left onto the Emily Proctor Trail). Hike for roughly 0.8 miles to the summit of Mount Wilson.
To get back to the Skyline Pond Traillhead parking area, retrace your steps back the way you came.
