Quick trip report....I've seen a steep hill with ledges along I-91 in Fairlee, VT for years, and wondered if there was an easy way to the top, for some top notch views. Long story short, there is! The trail can't be over a mile long to the main view point, but it continued further along the hill. Perhaps I'll go further along the trail someday. But for Friday, a quick jaunt to some view points were all that was needed. The pic above was from the power lines along the trail. More pics below..

Stick season is finally here....

The area is off limits a few months a year thanks to peregrine falcon nesting

Before long, a batch of mixed rain and snow squalls rolled through, making for interesting lighting, and thankfully not lightning.
