Waitsfield VT

 Nice summer day in Waitsfield VT today. It got up to 65 degrees today! Visiting Bob and Lesley at their house. The day started with hiking at the Wu Ledges trail at Waitsfield Town Forest. A nice walk up to an open ledge looking down at the town and out to the green mountains. Then a bike ride. Up, up ,up part pavement and part dirt to some outstanding views of the mountains. At one point you could see Mt Abe, Sugarbush South and North, Burnt Rock, Ethan and Ira and Camels hump. Lots of nice old farm barns including one which is a Trapp family member farm. Then a great dinner with Eliza and Dillon. 

The next day was a breakfast spread at Sue and Bruce's house with Eric, Robin, Steve, Kathy. Nice!

Not enough time on this visit but very nice quick visit.

Mad River walk and Lawson's Finest for dinner the night before:

CO National Monument

 This is the Monument Canyon Trail starting from the upper trailhead. Today was a mix of clouds and sun. It rained some the past few days and you could see where the water had recently been running down the canyon walls. Nice to be out in the cooler 50 degree weather.
