This was our first time hiking in Vermont. Since finishing the NH48 a couple years ago we decided to go for the NE67. These two mountains were #50 & 51. We also looked at a TOPO map and decided there was more mileage but less elevation if we took both mountain together using the Long Trail out and back. It was 12+ miles, but in our opinion it was worth it. The ridge walk on the Long Trail was great. The only real 'UP' we got was before the right summit on Abraham. The trails were in great condition with some minor mud, but other than that coming to Vermont we really enjoyed. We video all of our hikes for YouTube, so being in Vermont is no different.
