Holiday hike and beer/food and Von Trapp afterwards

We started the hike 25 minutes late as our trip leader went to the wrong trailhead.

The weather was seasonal with temps in the mid 20's. We did about a mile in brand new snow.

Our hike took us to a vista where we enjoyed some tasty chocolate truffle courtesy of Jeff.

The trail was pretty deserted saved for another hiker, one cross-country skier and a little black mouse.

We closed the day at the Van Trapp brewery.

Many thanks for all who signed up.

The scoop: 5.1 miles, less than 1,000 foot gain.

It's a modified version of this AllTrails hike: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/vermont/sterling-gorge-loop-via-catamount-trail

We'll include an additional 0.6 mile to go to Peak-a-View.

Bring proper gear and Fido. The hike itself should take us about 2 hours

We'll head out to Von Trapp brewing after the hike.

We meet a 10:50 for a 11:00 sharp departure.

Rain cancels.
