Prospect Hill
About
Prospect Hill is a summit of 1,165 feet in Vermont, sitting within Prospect Hill Pasture about 1.6 miles from the town of West Dummerston. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 81°F and September highs near 72°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler.
