Car
If you are traveling by car, start on VT-2 W from your location in Green Mountains. Continue on VT-2 W for about 14 miles until you reach the intersection with VT-100.

Note that parking may require a fee, usually around $5, and it’s advisable to arrive early as spaces can fill up quickly.
Public Transportation
If you are using public transportation, first take a bus to Burlington, VT. From Burlington, you can catch the Green Mountain Transit (GMT) bus towards Waterbury. Get off at the intersection of VT-2 and VT-100. From there, you will need to either call for a taxi or rideshare service to take you to Camel's Hump Road trailhead, as public transit options do not reach the trailhead directly. Expect taxi fares to be around $20-$30 for the short drive to the trailhead.

After parking your car at the Camel's Hump trailhead, follow the trail markers for Burrows Trail.
