Mount Hor

Mount Hor is a mountain summit in the Green Mountains of Vermont that offers trails and natural rock formations across its slopes. The terrain displays changing vegetation and open views as visitors ascend through different elevations.

The mountain area was home to indigenous populations before European settlement expanded across the Caledonia County region. The slopes later became valued by communities developing in the surrounding valleys.

Local hikers regularly visit the summit and maintain a strong connection to the trails crossing its slopes. The mountain remains an important outdoor destination for residents seeking a direct experience with the Green Mountains.

The summit is accessible from Sutton via marked trails, with seasonal weather affecting which sections are easiest to navigate. Visitors should expect varying ground conditions depending on the time of year.

The elevation creates distinct microclimates that support plant communities not commonly found in other parts of Vermont. These conditions make the ecosystem on the slopes genuinely distinctive and allow species to grow that struggle elsewhere in the state.
