Miles 18
Sights: Stratton Mountain
And just like that we're back in the thick of it. Crazy to think that just a few days ago we were sleeping in beds.
Today was pretty good. We were a little worried about Stratton Mountain becuase people were asking about the "bypass trail" so we thought it was going to be a killer climb. Turns out it was pretty easy. More or less. It was pretty consistently UP but there were switchbacks and and it didnt' take hours. When we got to the top we climbed up the lookout tower with coffee so we could enjoy the view. We have no idea what mountains we were looking at but it was pretty stunning. Most beautiful cup of coffee yet. The day got even better after Stratton Mountain because it was either down or flat for the last 9 miles. We walked past a beautiful swimming spot on Stratton Pond but we were, unfortunately, strapped for time so we bypassed swimming. It only we had left before 9am (so much for "trail time").
