Summary

Mt Tremont is an easy to get to, moderate hike with very nice views. The trail is fairly moderate with one water crossing and some switchbacks close to the summit. The summit has fine views over the Sawyer Pond area and westward towards Green's Cliff.

While only 3371', Tremont provides 2600' of elevation gain. A rountrip of 5.6 miles should leave plenty of time for hikers who might want to gather for dinner at a local restaurant afterwards. As its going to be early October be prepared for any kind of weather even though only the summit is above treeline.
