"My son and I staarted about 10am and it was an incredble climb. This was my sons second trip up but my first. It was a challenge and i pushed myself beyond anything i thought i could do. We completed the top about 2:30pm. Cold, windy but beautiful. We decended and Im glad we were prepared for anything cause we got caught in the dark. Although the sunrise was gorgeous my calculations were off. Websites and reports are incorrect with the milage and times. Im an advid hiker so i come well prepared. I planned my trip based on reports and i was so far off. Trail was difficult with headlamps but i made it with my poles and my son lead the way out. We met someeone coming down that was just casually waking their dog and we knew then we were almist back. That last 2 hours felt like forever. We reached the bottom at 5:28pm 14.4 miles later. 7.5 hrs later. We will remember this adventure forever!" — valeriedupont • Nov 6, 2023

"Our group road walked a mile to Skylight Pond Tr and ascended to the Long Trail. We then headed over to Breadloaf and Wilson. We had some navigational challenges with Breadloaf. Snow cover, open woods, and looking for white blazes in the winter made us lose the trail. It took some time to locate it. Getting up to Wilson was quick. Beautiful day today but these 2 peaks have nothing for views. We wore snowshoes the whole day despite not having much snow at lower elevations. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 15, 2023

"Thanksgiving Weekend in the mountains of Vermont 🏔🏕🥾❤️ Completed the Presidential Traverse as our first thru-hike. A wild and incredible adventure. Tough as my heath was not the best but this trip were had been planning turned out to be perfect. We had sunshine, and snow, fresh air and a little bit of rain. First time sleeping in a shelter along a trail, and it was great, woke up to snow falling and finding a little mouse taking shelter in my pack haha 😂 Over 15.5 hours of hiking, 34.7 km and over 7 mountains. And more of the Vermont long trail. 🏔⛰🏕🥾❤️" — Littlefoot • Oct 8, 2022
