Long Trail I

[askus3]

On May 23-30, 2007 I led a group of 17 on a journey (series of day-hikes) along the Long Trail from the Canadian border to the Lamoille River crossing (VT 15, near Johnson, VT), which was a total of 50 miles. This is the first of six annual trips to day-hike and complete the Long Trail. I also did a couple of hikes in the Lake Willoughby area and climbed Burnt Mountain on the Hazen Notch Aassociation lands, near Montgomery Center. The report is rather lengthy, so rather than attach it, I ask that if you are interested, you e-mail me for the report. However, there are four photo albums with all pictures captioned to give you the flavor of the first 50 miles of the Long Trail and an idea of what our experience was like.So here are the links:

Album 1 - May 23-24. Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, Coach House accommodations in Montgomery Center (our lodging base), and the LT from the Canadian border to Jay Pass (VT 242).
