Mount Mansfield Loop Trail

After a great hike with the GO group on Saturday, I got inspired to do more and conquer Vermont's highest peak: Mount Mansfield.

The weather was beautiful, albeit on the warm side. It was not too crowded on this Labor Day but there were plenty of Quebeckers hiking the trails.

There was not much time to stay at the top as the black flies were on the attack.

As a whole, a wonderful hike. I clocked it at 3 hours and 20 minutes.

This is a pretty challenging hike with close to a 3,000 foot gain. The effort is worth the view. The trail is technically difficult and a good pair of hiking shoes/boots is required.

Bring plenty of water, wind breaker, warm clothes, sunscreen, hat, Fido (on a leash) and snack/sandwich.

We'll go out to eat after the hike. We can decide on options.

We meet at 9:50am for a 10:00 sharp departure.

There is a $5.00 park entrance fee.
