AT Day 65 Bully Brook to Killington

Miles ~18
Total 672
Sights: Killington Sunset

I'm writing this from the top of Killington as the sun is sinking below distant mountains.   The sky is a gorgeous peachy pink and the two clouds on either side of the sun look a bit like cranes.  We are really appreciating this beautiful end to the day because the hike today was pretty hard.  We hiked down into and then out of a fairly steep gorge and ended the day with the climb up Killington. (it was killer)

However, there was a lovely shelter on the way that was decorated with Potted plants and was quite beautiful.  It also had a brook with some deeper pools so we could splash our faces. Thank god for that too because today was HOT.  Both of us were completely wet with sweat.  It was a bit disgusting.  It felt great to clean up at the end of the day.

Tomorrow, if we can swing it, we'll try to catch the sunrise from Killington as well.
