Mount Hor is a climbing area in Vermont, about 2 miles from the town of Sunmit. It sits close to several other outdoor spots, so it works well as a base for a day of hiking, climbing or skiing in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sutton show July highs around 76°F with lows near 56°F, and September is the driest month, with about 12 wet days. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run cooler. The North Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the South Shore Trail is about 0.4 mile off. Bartlett Mountain Loops, a cross-country ski route, is under a mile away. Climbers can also head to Mount Pisgah, about 1.7 miles from the area.
