We also have a Gore Mountain, a Mount Hunger, and a Bloodthirsty Killer Mountain! (Okay, I might be lying about that last one.)

I've hiked Mount Horrid, and it's actually not a bad little hike with decent views.

The cliffs offer great views and are not that far from the road (though steep in places). Check to see if they are closed due to Peregrine Falcon nesting before hiking up there if you intend to see the cliffs.

They are fine. We just have a habit of naming some of them in the middle of February.

I can see terrible mountain from my front porch. Apparently, but I’m the 1800s some Local Young lady had to hike over it in a snow storm To get heating oil I think, and she said it was terrible, so they named it terrible mountain. (I’m sure I’m missing some details, but I’m close).

It’s a pretty steep hike at the top and primo buck country too

Terrible Mountain earned it's name, it's terrible to drive over in the winter.

I’m gonna say it, camels hump doesn’t look like a camel 🐫 🐪 it’s more of a dolphin 🐬

You had to go there.

Do you think humans are more disgusting sexually or dolphins?

Dolphin Hump to replace Camels hump. I’m putting this to a vote

Terrible mountain is gorgeous..just not the best route to take in snow or ice. I’ve experienced multiple vehicles sliding into 360s on the way down from Weston to Ludlow.

After hiking Mount Horrid, make sure you visit the village of Satans Kingdom.

I read that Mount Hunger got the name because a hunting party got stuck on the mountain as it was too dark to go home and they missed their dinner.

Terrible mountain must be quite terrific.

All I know is Killington is f@cked and there is no way they can host the World Cup by Thanksgiving unless the temperature drops dramatically.

Ever feeling like your peaks were named by Debbie Downer? Can always slip across the Connecticut River and visit Mt Misery in Northumberland NH... (Always wondered about the history behind evocative names like that).

Don’t worry, if you don’t like those, you can visit Camp Kill Kare on Lake Champlain
