Champlain Mtn

Hiked the Beachcroft trail up the west side of Champlain. Parked along Rt. 3 south, on the right, just past the Sierre du Monts park entrance. Walk a tiny bit south and cross Rt. 3 to find the trailhead. 

The first half is all stairs and then some flat rock along the cliff edge. It feels like you're reaching the top after 30-45 minutes, but it's a false peak! (Actually, it's called Hugenot Head.)  You have to go down a notch and then up to the real peak. 

It's a great hike, but it's twice as long as it looks at first!  At the top, views of Dorr and the harbor are great.
