Even though fall foliage has started to pass... wait, no because fall foliage has started to pass this Sunday was spent climbing up a pleasantly deserted Long Trail that crosses over Camel's Hump east of Burlington. It was beautiful, this was one of the trailside rivers.
This is MY island...
A view, not even close to the top of anything.
At this point we weren't sure how far we were in and given how old my map was and that we were on a new Long Trail leg. At this point we were about 1.5 hours or so and then we found this viewpoint after a struggle up a steep part of the trail.
Yep, that is Camel's Hump, well over 2 miles away. We only had about 3 hours of daylight left so we decided to turn back.
On the decent the leafless trees provided nice views of some of the surrounding landscape. The overall estimated stats: 2 hours and 40 minutes, approximately 1,500 ft elevation gain over approximately 2.5 miles (5 miles round trip) .
