The vertical and mileage estimates, although accounted to the foot or
tenth of a mile, are still estimates with limited accuracy. The
measurement locations have been chosen to be easily recognizable
localities approximately ten miles apart. They actually range
form 8.1 to 11.5 miles. The
mileage estimates
are taken from the Green Mountain Club's Long Trail Guide:
Hiking Vermont's High Ridge: Vermont Hiking Trail Series: Volume
1: Twenty Fifth Edition. The
vertical measurements are taken from an approximation made using
National
Geographic's computer software powered by Topo!.
