🌜Cooper Lodge at Mt Killington

Mile 1701.9
14.1 miles of hiking today to arrive at this funky, beat-up, old shelter. Apparently it gets a lot of vandalism due to easy access from the ski lift 🤔

Today was another day or taking it slow and trying to be intentional with almost every step. My ankle doesn’t feel better but it also doesn’t feel worse. I might step down the mileage goals again tomorrow depending on how I feel in the morning. Also considering a day of rest if necessary- we’ll see.

I loved hiking along the streams all day through the coniferous forests. It reminded me of the Smokys a lot. I took a long, long break at the Stone’s Throw Farmstand in Shrewsbury VT to enjoy lunchtime snacks and cold local beverages (including maple syrup soda!!). I could have stayed all day, loved the vibe there. Today I hit mile 1700 and also the marker/indicator for 500 miles away from Mt Katahdin. 🥳 amazing!Read more
