Velomont - Perspiration is a hard hike in Vermont's Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, within the Rochester Ranger District. The route is an out-and-back of about 7 miles, with a total elevation gain of roughly 1,700 feet. The high point is about 2,500 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at around 2.8 miles in, where the grade reaches about 15%. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows bikes, and the Forest Service manages the land. The trip takes about 3 hours, and the route is open year-round. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 76°F and lows near 54°F, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the high ground run cooler. Slab Bridge Brook and Morrill Brook are both within half a mile. Chittenden Brook Campground is about 2.3 miles away, and Vermont's Lonely Rocks - Central, a climbing area, is about 1.5 miles off.
