Chittenden Brook is a hard hike in Vermont's Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, within the Rochester Ranger District. The route is a loop of about 7 miles, with a steady climb that carries you from a starting elevation of about 2,670 feet to a high point of 2,961 feet. The trail is managed by the Forest Service. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 76°F in July, with lows near 54°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the high ground run cooler. Chittenden Brook Campground is about 1.4 miles away, and the Chittenden Bouldering climbing area is about 2.3 miles off. The Long hike and the Chitt. BK. Outer Loop are both about 0.9 miles from the trail.
