Putney Mountain
About
Putney Mountain is a summit in Vermont, about 3.3 miles from the town of Newfane. It sits at the center of a small network of hiking trails, with several routes starting within a short distance of the top. For comfortable weather, aim for summer and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run highs around 75°F in June and 72°F in September. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler than those figures suggest. The Ridgeline Trail is just half a mile away, and the Dine Trail and Parsons Cutoff are both within about a mile and a half. Climbers can head roughly 8.5 miles to Second Wall.
