Do not go on this hike if you have a problem hiking steep trails! The last 3/10ths is really rock climbing. That being said I am an over 55 year old woman with an 18 and 20 year old who did make it to the top. The reward was panoramic views of the Green Mountains plus the satisfaction of making it. This is a 5 hour round trip hike so plan accordingly. If you are young and in great shape it may take less time. There is fresh spring water available at the end of the hike.

In my opinion, I find this is the best, most scenic way to go to the top of Killington although it is a longer drive and harder to find off the Wheelerville road rather than at the parking area on US Route 4. The Bucklin trail has limited parking.

This is a great hike! Bring water, bug spray and dress appropriately for the season and you will have an amazing time up here!

My husband and I hiked the Bucklin Trail on an early Sunday morning in September. The weather was around 55 degrees when we started, which was perfect for the 7.8 mile (roundtrip) trail. It took us about 2.5 hours to hike up and 1 hour and 45 minutes to come back down. We stopped several times to take pictures, catch our breath, and take in the scenery. The first 2 miles of terrain is pretty flat, then it starts to go straight up to the top of Mt. Killington. The view from the top is gorgeous. I highly recommend going up to Killington no matter which trail you choose. Not sure I'd do the Bucklin again because of the distance of flat terrain at the beginning, much rather just start hiking at an incline to start, but glad we did it!

The above the tree line that allows you to see into New Hampshire, New York, and even beyond. The long, strenuous hike is definitely worth the effort to see the breathtaking view of the lakes, valleys, little towns and villages, and summertime view of Killington Ski Resort
