Mount Ascutney, Mountain summit in Windsor County, Vermont, US.
Mount Ascutney rises 3,144 feet above the Connecticut River Valley, featuring steep terrain and granite formations across its slopes.
The Civilian Conservation Corps established the state park between 1935 and 1938, constructing the original summit road and recreational facilities.
The mountain's name originates from the Abenaki word Ascutegnik, which refers to the location at the end of a river fork.
Five marked trails lead to the summit, with the Windsor Trail extending 2.7 miles from the trailhead at 86 Back Mountain Road.
The mountain functions as a launch point for hang gliders who can achieve flights extending over 90 miles into neighboring states.
