Nancy Hanks Peak

"Third peak of the day with Nancy. Out and back from Lincoln Gap to Mt. Ellen. Looked out to farm land and small towns. One of the mountains on the ridge walk. A wonderful day!" — lfrancois • Sep 9, 2022

"A splendid bluebird day with views for miles into the Adirondack and White Mountains from atop Mountain Abraham from the Green Mountains today. The Abraham plane crash is eerily similar to Mount Marshall and was an interesting find to see. The crash occurred in June 1973 and surprisingly all three occupants uninjured. I took the Long Trail North as a 13 mile out and back with some other peaks along the ridge to Ellen and back and was the only one atop Abraham summit, the way I like it - solitude. If I ever had a trail nickname I believe that would be it, Solitude. It was a gorgeous day to breath mountain air. I thought about also doing Mount Mansfield but may save that for my birthday.

"Belle journée tout de même nuageuse. Je voulais faire une dernière rando avant de partir dans l'ouest des USA. Ce sera donc une rando de pratique! Nous somme un groupe très restreint et expérimenté. Ce sera donc un autre défi pour moi. 19Km et 8 sommets. Bon ok il y a des sommets qui étaient plus des bonus qu'autre chose mais ils sont là! La rando fut magnifique car nous étions sur des crêtes tout le long, de Abraham à Ellen. Je n'ai eu qu'un seul accident en cours de route et c'est au sommet de Lincoln. J'ai glissé sur une roche et j'ai bousillé mon cellulaire en tombant dessus :( :( :( Cellulaire qui me permettait de prendre des photos. Je ne pourrai donc pas l'avoir pour ma semaine au USA :( Je braille ma vie... Donc j'ai des photos jusqu'à Lincoln et le reste est dans ma mémoire!" — fsoucy76 • Oct 14, 2017

"Deb and I picked another beautiful day to hike, this time we did the Sugarbush Range via the Long Trail from Abraham to Lincoln to Nancy Hanks to Cutts to Ellen peak. Great weather, great views and great exercise! Found the hike very enjoyable and a steady moderate hike the whole way. " — hbotc • Sep 16, 2017

"out & back 'traverse' up to Abraham and over to Ellen AND THEN BACK..... I didnt have a car spot so it was easier just to go all the way and then come all the way back....beautiful hike, watched the rain come in and move around me but I never got wet....stunning day!!" — shay-shay • Aug 7, 2017

"Headed up to Vermont Friday night and stayed at Green Mountain campground. Following morning dropped one car off at Lincoln Gap for finish. Then headed to the Jerusalem trail for start, hiked to Ellen and over sub peaks to Mt Abraham. Was wet and rainy day, but fun day with friends just the same." — blackwolf_03278 • Jun 3, 2017

"With Caet Cash. We were NOBO'ing the Long Trail, & bagged Abraham, Little Abe, Lincoln, Nancy Hanks, Cutts, & Ellen. After leaving Lincoln we continued northbound to this little treed summit. There are some lookouts on the trail which all had great views. The weather held nicely for us, the trail wasn't awfully muddy but fairly puddly in the cols due to heavy rains the night before. After hanging out here for a few minutes to stretch out we continued on to Cutts. Somewhere in this vicinity we met a dude wearing a kilt, with an older female companion who was a Whites 48 finisher and was awesome to talk to, and also encountered a really obnoxious group of young people.

"Jerusalem Trail to LT south to Ellen, over Cutts Peak, Nancy Hanks, Lincoln, Little Abe, and Abraham then down Battell Trail. This was to complete a segment of LT. Some nettles and aloe on Jerusalem Trail. Overall a wonderful trip, great views on most of the peaks." — barbaratraver • Jul 25, 2002
