The trail from Maine Junction to the White Mountains
is basically an exercise in getting from one place to
another.
1-The Lookout. It's worth the side-trip just to climb on
top of someone's house. The view is good if not great
and is a nice diversion.
2-West Hartford. Any time there's a nice place to
hang- out and get a snack ON the trail, thru-hikers
know what to do.
3-Thistle Hill. It's a reach, I know. In a section
that's low on views, something is better than nothing.
4-Cloudland Shelter. I just dig it when I can find
something that's not in the data book. It's a nice shelter
a couple of miles south of Thistle Hill. Still, it's not
officially maintained and kind of far from the trail so
I can see why it's not listed.
5-Kent Pond Outlet. Unique rock formation
surrounding this pleasant woodland stream.
Did You Know...
...that Vermont has the smallest Capitol
city (in population) of the 50 states.
