"Calm and snowy day. Well trodden path with some blow downs here and there. Summit was cloud but calm. The Tower was covered in snow and ice and I didnt dare to go up past 2 flights. Great day! " — bobbaker • Jan 30, 2024

"Squirrel nest in engine caught on fire in the parking lot. Put it out before any major damage was done but visible burn damage on the hood. Apparently woke up the entire town with the 911 call of a car on fire! Only hiked up a few hundred feet afterwards to kill time before the other car came. Ended up driving the burned car 57 miles back home. " — bobbaker • May 17, 2023

"On the third day of my trip, I headed all the way up north to tackle Jay and Big Jay. Pretty easy climb on the Long Trail up to the summit of Jay, which is a ski resort. The "bushwhack" over the Big Jay was not difficult as the herd path is very apparent and would be difficult to get lost on. Once again alot of signs of a moose being on the herd path in the morning, but I never saw it. Hit the summit of Big Jay and headed out quickly as it was starting to rain. When I got back to the parking area there was a long trail thru hiker that I gave a ride to help out. " — LGH-Tom • Jun 26, 2021

"Followed the winding wood's road from Bailey Pond Rd to the top of the wooded two pronged summit. An extensive sugaring operation blankets the entire hill. Limited views of Spruce Mt & east into NH from the top." — billsussdorff • Mar 30, 2021

"Hiked both Jay Peak & Big Jay via the LT from Rt. 242. My main goal was Big Jay as I've hiked Jay Peak before, but one doesn't happen without the other so... The herd path to Big Jay is known to be muddy & it didn't disappoint. The mud coupled with much blow down made for an interesting bushwhack. Some nice views back to Jay Peak & the tram station near the top of Big Jay. All in all, a great hike & now I've hiked all 28 peaks in Vt. over 3500 ft." — billsussdorff • Oct 24, 2019
