Take Route 100 north from Killington, VT to Pittsfield. Turn left at the Pittsfield General store onto Upper Michigan Road and follow about two miles to a large pull off with a US forest service kiosk and park here. Continue about 1.5 miles on bike following the forest service road past the kiosk after a significant downhill you will see a sharp uphill right with a forest service gate. This is the Hayes Brook Loop, a 3.25 mile loop.
Had a hard time finding the trail off of the Upper Michigan Road at first; had to retrace the ride and really look for it. The uphill is about 600' vertical in about 1.5 miles - this is a real climb. It was wet in the woods and we were spinning our tires climbing this. This ride is a real workout. Check out Pittsfield Peaks across route 100 for more trails.
