"Warm day in the 60's, light overcast. Started at Burrows Trailhead, took Burrows Trail up. Muddy for first half up, turned to wet snow (needed spikes). At major junction, turned right onto Long Trail to a very windy summit, hazy in the distance so couldn't see Mt. Washington, but was able to see Mt. Mansfield, Whiteface, and others. Continued through summit on Long Trail to next junction. Turned left onto Alpine Trail for about 0.2 miles to the plane wreck. It was half-buried in snow but still very cool. Looped back to the junction and continue to descend via the Long Trail and eventually Forest City Trail back to the trailhead." — gregoryskiba • Apr 24, 2021

"Hiked peak via Bucklin to Long (out & back). Sunny dry weather and all of the leaves changing. Long easy trail through the woods with some gradual rock climbs near the top. Completed the 5 summits over 4000 ft. My totals over the 2 & 1/2 days were 44 miles and 16,500. I highly recommend the 5 peak challenge this time of year. They all have some unique features." — trussell • Sep 24, 2020

"Hiked the loop counter- clockwise, went out Forrest City to Long and back Burrows. This was definitely the best route for me climbing up the rocks and back down the easier Burrows trail. This was my favorite of the 5 over 4K. Beautiful views & fun climbs. I got the best weather too." — trussell • Sep 23, 2020

"Hiked out & back on Jerusalem. Beautiful weather. Easy Relaxing hike. Also went over to Stark Mtn. That was 4 of 5 summits over 4K for me in 2 days. One more to complete the challenge." — trussell • Sep 23, 2020

"Climbed Mt. Mansfield from Sunset Ridge trail to Long & back Laura Cowles. Sunny but very windy at peak - should have brought extra layer. Trying to do the 5 peaks over 4K in 3 days... 2 down!" — trussell • Sep 22, 2020
