View of Mt Horrid from Brandon Gap on the Long Trail. What a cool name for a mountain lol
Our #wednesdaywalk (hosted by 
The trail is well marked and there was enough previous traffic to make it easy to follow.
View are nice this time of year through the trees. In summer you trade the nice views for green leafy canopy.
The trail is in the Green Mountain National Forest. You can see the distant peaks of the eastern Green Mountains through the trees.
Its lovely and peaceful once you put some distance between yourself and the highway.
But snowshoeing makes the hike more strenuous.
Its a nice trail with several bridges but there are still a few stream crossings.
The trail also provides access to several backcountry ski areas.
This photo was supposed so the snow pack depth but failed 🙄 you can get a look at the snowshoes we were using.
Here's a better view. There was probably about 18 inches of snow on the trail.
The forest is so quiet with the snow on the ground.
But its also kind of like the old saying, "if you're not the lead dog, the view never changes" 😁
The Long Trail stretches across Vermont top to bottom for 273 miles in total. We are fortunate to live in an area where you can access the Long Trail at several points for short hikes.
One last photo of the view. Have a great day 👍
