"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
"Hiked Mansfield for some Side to Side trails and another Calendar Day. Parked at the ski resort and headed up the road into Smugglers Notch. Went up Hell Brook Tr. Steep trail. Went up and over the Adams Apple. Very windy day and it was pushing me around. Backtracked briefly to claim all of Hell Brook Tr, then headed up to the summit. Windy on the northwest side. Tagged the summit and kept on moving southward. Followed the LT until the Forehead Bypass. Took that for 0.5 miles, then took South Link to Haselton Tr. Then quickly descended down Haselton Tr back to my car. 7.7 miles!!!" — newenglandwarrior • Sep 16, 2023
"I needed a Calendar Day and it had been ages since I last hiked Killington. I headed up the Bucklin Tr. Flatish to start, then some up. The last 0.2 miles was steep. Some nice directional views to the north and west on one side. Over by some towers, there were views to the south and southeast. Windy up there. I came back down the Bucklin Tr. First hike of the day. " — newenglandwarrior • Sep 14, 2023
"Returned to our favourite peak in VT to bag Adam's Apple which we orphaned last time out. Hiked along the ridge, over Mansfield and to the Apple. Awesome day in the mountains in what has become our favourite destination. " — HikingViking • Aug 12, 2023
"Began at 10:15am. The first section of the Long Trail from the Barnes Camp Visitor Center is a scenic boardwalk over some wetlands. However, because of the cloud cover, we could not see any of the flanking peaks. The trail then crosses Mountain Rd and the ascent begins. We quickly ascended into a cloud and decided against hiking to any of the optional subpeaks (the Adams Apple, Nose, or Forehead). The final ascent to the summit requires some scrambling. Despite being in a cloud and having visibility of roughly 20 feet, there was hardly any wind at the summit and it was relatively dry. As we traversed the summit portion of the Long Trail, the clouds began to break and we saw some views of the neighboring mountains as well as the subpeaks. I saw an unidentified animal (likely a lynx or fisher cat) on the Amherst Trail. The descent began on a steep ski trail which turned into a slightly less steep hiking trail. Returned to the car around 5:15pm." — JCalautti • Jun 18, 2023
