In 2014, The Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation purchased 139 acres of land on Mt. Dewey to preserve the hills above the town from further development. The Mt. Dewey trail was completed in 2015, replacing a very eroded social trail. Although the new trail ends just past Mt. Dewey, the Horseshoe connector trail through Pike National Forest continues to North Catamount Reservoir. You can also take a descending connector to the Catamount Trail and its "Garden of Eden” meadows.
At a grassy high point of 9227 feet, enjoy the panoramic view. You will find the remains of a small cabin and a heavily overgrown former road heading up from the west. Look for the cache nestled in a nearby tree about six feet from the ground. Be careful of nails in the cabin materials.
Congratulations to GoMRT - FTF!
