Stowe, VT Vacation - Smugglers Notch 
Oct. 20, 2008

There was a tent platform along the edge of the pond, where we took a break before heading back down . .

The trail crossed the top of the Smugglers Notch ski resort.

The sign speaks for itself, though it would be funny to do this hike in winter - come out across the top of the mt. in your snowshoes as all the skiers slide off the chair lift.

View down the ski slope.

Unfortunately the trail is closed in winter to hiking.

Not sure why.

I guess the skiers wouldn't feel so cool knowing you hiked your ass up there, while they road the lift.


Heading back down.

We made it finally. Thankfully there was a nice bar in town to feed our hungry bellies, quench our thirsts and help us remember our three and a half hour hike as somewhat pleasant.
