Looking for the latest update on Kelly Stand Rd. How close can you get the AT trailhead at Stratton from the west? Read last night rd is open up to USFS rd 73. Still true? Headed that way at the end of Aug. Thanks!
You can certainly get to the A.T. trailhead from the east, I gather. I'm not up-to-date on the approach from Rt. 7 in the valley southwest of the mountain.
Still not open from Arlington to the AT...maybe next year..

It's due to reopen very shortly. Word was end of August or early September from USFS. An article in the Rutland Herald said mid-September. I think I'll call them tomorrow for the update.

Does anybody know if it is open yet and what type of surface it is?
The road is reopening. Here is the most recent info...and the road is 100% gravel from Arlington to the AT:

We traversed the length of Kelly Stand/Stratton-Arlington Road between VT 100 and Kansa Road in Arlington this weekend. It's a beautiful drive, and although I'd never been on it before, I can imagine the amount of work that was necessary to get it reopened.
