50 High Points

Vermont - Mount Mansfield (4,393') - July 10, 2005
During a trip to Montreal to visit Leslie, Stephen, and Elizabeth, we decided to drive to Vermont and New Hampshire
for the day to cross two more highpoints off of my list. We knew the day would be long but we weren't quite prepared for
the difficulty of Cliff Trail, the 0.7 mile trail that takes you from the top of the gondola ride to Long Trail, the
trail that traverses the ridge and takes you to the highpoint. None of the guidebooks I referenced indicated anymore
about the trail than distance. Cliff Trail is easily class 3 in many places. When you've got a 2 year old toddler
on her daddy's back, the situation immediately becomes compounded!
