Just passing through with an overnight stay. Lot of confusion about the distance to the Inn, but it is now apparent it will be a 14 mile day. The terrain has eased up a lot, so it shouldn't be thatLäs mer

It's an oasis. I haven't been off the trail for a couple of weeks, since the B&B in Jeffersonville, and a quick resupply stop in Waitsfield. I pushed longer daily miles and got here a day ahead ofLäs mer

Top of a ski mountain. We easily made it to this warming hut. Good thing, because it rained all night. Was hoping for a nice sunrise, but got fog instead. We're warm and dry, so I'm not complaining.Läs mer
