Gile Mountain

Gile Mountain

Gile Mountain is located in Windsor County, Vermont, along the border between the towns of Norwich and Sharon, with the summit located in Norwich. The mountain reaches a height of 1,873 feet above sea level. Relatively unimposing considering its height, the true summit cannot easily be seen from the surrounding territory, despite the prominent fire tower atop its summit. The tower is easily reached by taking Turnpike Rd. out of Norwich to the parking area near its terminus. From here, the Gile Mountain trail leads west 0.7 miles to the summit, passing under power lines. The summit area contains an old garage, since converted to a shelter-type structure (though camping is not allowed), and the tower itself. From the top, views are expansive, and on a clear day one can see Mount Ascutney to the south, the Green Mountains from Killington Peak to Mount Mansfield to the west, Mount Cardigan, Smarts Mountain, and Croydon Peak to the east, and Mount Cube and Mount Moosilauke to the northeast, with many of the White Mountains beyond. Dartmouth College is also visible some seven miles distant.
