Mount Peg
About
Mount Peg is a summit in Vermont, rising just 0.4 miles from the town of Woodstock. Its closeness to town makes it an easy add-on to a visit, whether you're coming for a walk on foot or on skis in winter. For comfortable weather, aim for late summer into early fall. In September, typical averages from the nearby Woodstock weather station run to highs around 73°F and lows near 47°F. That station sits several hundred feet below the summit, so expect conditions on top to run a little cooler. Winters are cold, with January highs averaging about 30°F, which suits the cross-country ski trails that surround the hill. The Village Trail hiking route starts just 0.1 miles away, and the Mount Peg Trail and Upper Cross ski trails are both about 0.2 miles off. For paddling, Barnard Brook lies roughly 3.8 miles away.
