Parking in Machester Center, VT and maybe a shuttle?

#1

I’m planning a short hike starting at Manchester Center and heading north on the AT/LT. Is there parking at the trailhead there? If not, a good place in Manchester Center to park and then hitch to the trail from?

I’m planning on either heading north for a couple days and turning around or going up to Killington. Any thoughts on shuttles or the ease of hitching back to Manchester Center from Killington?

Thanks for any input!

There is a large parking lot at the trailhead in Manchester Center, located on Rt 11, east of Manchester Center.

There is a bus that runs from Rutland, VT to Manchester, VT. Once in Manchester it should be a pretty easy hitch out to the trailhead and your car:

Many section hikers have parked at our hostel in Manchester Center this year. We can even shuttle you to the VT11/30 trailhead.

However, we close shortly after Labor Day. Email me if you have any interest.
