Section Hike Vermont Long Trail

End of the journey.

When can we go again?

Talking about finishing the trail next year.

Happy 65 birthday Mom and Dad and 45th wedding anniversary - the reason we did this trip together was to celebrate these milestones. And happy hiking to al my hiking partners on this trip @toesalad, @karentogo, @hammerhead - love all of you so much!!

Leaving the Long Trail, getting our car at Middlebury Gap, a group of cyclists congregating in the parking lot before heading downhill.

Hiking through Middlebury Snow Bowl. A reminder for me that the next season’s sport is skiing, can’t wait!

Leaving Joseph Battell wilderness. @toesalad estimating we have a mile and a bit to go.

Somewhere on Worth Mt looking east.

We had so many foggy views on this trip. Here’s @hammehead at The Great Cliff at Mount Horrid. From May to August this area is closed to protect Peregrine Falcon nesting.

I have loved my time out here. Happiest hiking trip for me in many years. I’m hooked, again.

@hammerhead heading out

Day 15

Leaving Sunrise Shelter for our last 11 miles of this trip.
