It's been a little while since I posted a trip but I assure you I have kept busy! I hope everyone had a good Easter. Yesterday Sonya and I Climbed Mt. Ellen, one of Vermont's 4,000+ footers. Just under 10 miles round trip, Lot's of snow, windy, and cold, which meant a great day! Thought I would share a few pics. Especially for those of you who are always jealous of the pristine public cabins we have here.
Very typical this time of year up here, the start of the trail winds through lot's of sugaring lines.
Gaining elevation and getting colder.
The trail became pretty nasty for a while.
~3 miles in, the glenn-ellen lodge. One of many public cabins on the long trail. I didn't stay this time but this one is really nice.
I went ultra light, I trail ran the first 2 miles. Camelbak, spyderco persistance, Ruger .357 mag, Cliff bar, Ipod, PBJ sandwich w/banana, bag of raisins, Lighter, headlamp, bourbon.
about half way down stopped for a little drink.... Cheers!
