Long Trail — Views, views, and more views

c) Andrew Carter, 2025

These mountain views explain why I love hiking so much.

The view from Belividere Fire Tower

Mt. Mansfield ahead, view from Whitecap Mountain.

Another view. Note the communication towers on the mountain.

A final view south. Such incredible beauty.

End of day, a view from Mt. Mayo, Lake Champlain through the trees.

The view from Puffer Shelter. That’s Mt. Mansfield in the distance at the far right.

I just completed a multi-year thru hike (MYTH) of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It took three years. I hiked 1840 miles in 2021, 733 miles in 2022, and 122 miles in 2023. The only reason I had to hike in 2023 was a wildfire closure at the north end of the PCT in 2022. During the past two years, I've also thru hiked other, shorter US trails. I hiked the Benton MacKaye Trail (GA, NC, TN) and the Tuscarora Trail (VA, WV, MD, PA) in 2022 plus the Ozark Highlands Trail (AR) in 2023. I hope to hike the Long Trail (VT) next year and the Colorado Trail at some point in the future. Please note, all content on this site is copyright.
