Jason and I recently returned from a 9 day backpacking trip that covered a 160 mile section of the Long Trail (LT); a 270 mile trail that follows the up and down boulder, strew ridge line of the Vermont's Green Mountains.
The LT map shows the distance we backpacked.
Backpacking over boulders, a scene so typical of the trail.
Some rewarding views, looking out across Vermont.
With backpacks left behind, a 0.2 mile climb up across boulders put us ontop of Killington Mt. (4100 ft.)
Not all of the trail was boulder strewn...
Jason atop Mt. Abraham (4000 ft) ... the air temperature was about 42 degrees F and damp.
Another view into the Vermont valley below.
The LT crosses the upper sides of several sky slopes.
Interesting trail art created by the stone contributions and their placement of passing hikers.
Another view looking back from where we had come.
