Mount Philo
About
Mount Philo is a summit in Vermont, about 3 miles from the town of West Charlotte. It sits at the center of a small cluster of trails, with several routes starting within a few hundred yards of the top. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. The weather station at Vergennes, 7.5 miles away, records typical averages with September highs around 73°F and lows near 51°F. That station sits several hundred feet below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up high. The Old Carriage Trail and Summit Trail are both about 0.1 mile away, and Devil's Chair Trail is roughly 0.2 mile off. Farther afield, the La Platte River offers canoeing about 5 miles away, and Button Bay State Park has camping just under 10 miles from the summit.
