Mt. Mansfield

Yesterday was the 3rd Yankee Farm Credit Loan Committee hike. We hiked Mt. Mansfield. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. Here is a photo on the ridge.

The goal was to hike as many of the interesting little side trails around the summit as possible. We did quite a few! Four of us hiked up the Haselton Trail and then hiked the Lakeview Trail. The other four of us rode up the gondola when it opened at 10 AM and hiked up the Cliff Trail to the ridge. We met on top – and found someone to take the above picture. After that, we hiked the Subway, Canyon North Extension and the Canyon North Trail. Then we went to the summit, and finally down the Cliff Trail. All of us rode the gondola down.

The two previous Loan Committee hikes, both when Dean Moreau was president, were in New Hampshire: Lafayette and Lincoln (2004) and Eisenhower (2005). There was no Loan Committee hike in 2006.
