A woodland and summit trail over Day Mtn. Historically connected to Seal Harbor and Cooksey Drive, the current route starts at Route 3 near the relocated Champlain Monument. The route gradually ascends Day Mountain, then goes straight down the north side, to the carriage road bridge by Wildwood Stables. The route is a moderate climb up narrow soil tread - trail mostly through woods, then opens to granite ledges with fantastic views before crossing carriage road again. The route is mostly in good condition but boggy in places. A set of small stepstones, probably recent, crosses a boggy area. Some 1990s ditch and fill work. One staircase may be original SHVIS construction, located almost at summit, with about 8 uncut slablaid steps varying in size. The SHVIS still maintains trails that intersect with this route, so SHVIA signs are evident. CB, SB, MB, GJS
