This is the third in a six year project to dayhike the Long Trail of Vermont from the Canadian border to Massachusetts southbound.

The hiking will be strenuous and we will go at a steady pace. One of the hikes will have a length of fifteen miles. We also will climb Mt. Moosalamoo and take short treks to Abbey Pond, and other interesting locations in the area which adds the plus to the trip title. Carpooling and car shuttles will be arranged. Our accommodations will be fully furnished houses with complete modern kitchens, shared rooms and baths in Warren, VT. Participants must attend for the entire week. Contact L for detailed itinerary.
