The Long Trail traverses the summit of Mount Roosevelt at 3,528 feet (1,075 m). Multiple side trails provide access to this section of the Long Trail. The Clark Brook Trail, whose trailhead is in the town of Granville, intersects the Long Trail after 3.0 miles (4.8 km). From the junction, Mount Roosevelt is approximately 0.4 miles (0.6 km) north on Long Trail. The Emily Proctor Trail, whose trailhead is in the town of Lincoln, terminates at the Emily Proctor Shelter, which is 2.1 miles (3.4 km) south of Mount Roosevelt on the Long Trail.[1]
The Cooley Glen Trail, whose trailhead coincides with the Emily Proctor Trailhead, terminates at the Cooley Glen Shelter, which is approximately 3.6 miles (5.8 km) north of Mount Roosevelt on the Long Trail. A popular loop hike begins at the Cooley Glen Trailhead (or the Emily Proctor Trailhead in a counterclockwise direction). The 12.4-mile (20.0 km) loop hike takes in three peaks of the Presidential Range: Mount Cleveland, Mount Roosevelt, and Mount Wilson. A fourth president, Mount Grant, is just off the main loop, 0.8 miles (1.3 km) north of the Cooley Glen Shelter.[6]
Killington View is approximately 0.4 miles (0.64 km) east of Mount Roosevelt on the Long Trail. From there, one can see Killington Peak more than 30 miles (48 km) to the south.
