About Wheeler Mountain
Wheeler Mountain is a summit in northern Vermont, about 4.4 miles from the town of Barton. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sutton reach highs around 76°F in July, and September brings highs near 67°F with the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits well below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up high. The climbing area e. The Great Corner lies just 0.1 mile away. The Wheeler Mountain Trail is about a mile off, and the Wheeler Pond Trail is about 1.2 miles away. Climbers can also head to Mount Hor, roughly 2.2 miles distant.
