After so many hikes in New York we figured we should try to do an overnight in Vermont. We headed south to join the Long Trail around Rutland and Clareton. There was a cool cable bridge across a gorge then a sharp ascent to this lookout. We had seen so many splendid vistas in the Adirondacks that this was rather tame and dull in contrast.
The airport was down there. I think this was looking north.
It was very busy that day, we passed tons of people on the trail. As we continued on past the first lean-to we saw that it was full and there were five tents in spots around it. As we continued we saw more and more people with overnight packs. When we stopped for lunch we decided that given the number of people on the trail it would be likely that the spots we were planning to camp would be slammed with people. We had about 15 people pass us as we sat for lunch.
So we turned around and went home...
