The usual: Madonna loop

 Parked at Smuggs lot and went up Sterling to Sterling Pond. Then LT South to elephants head lookout. Then cut up to top of Spruce Peak for viewpoint and then back on LT North around Sterling Pond. Then to Madonna and down. Nice loop with lots of views. 8 miles. A cloudy day but temps in the 50's most of the day so nice hiking weather.

And a quick tour of Brewster river area. Need to get the bike up into this area. Lots of good dirt roads and some mountain bike trails.

Belvidere and Devils Gulch

 Parked at Eden's crossing long trail parking lot and went in both directions. First up Belvidere and then over to Devils Gulch and Spruce Ledge Camp. 

Belvidere is a short 5 mile RT to the top of a mountain with a fire tower. You can see the large asbestos mine from the top and I could even see a talus pile from the Spruce Ledge Camp which is about 5 miles away. Devils Gulch is an interesting area of jumbled rocks with cliffs on both sides. Ritterbush pond is also a short detour off of the LT and is a nice pond with a trail that goes around it.

It was nice to look back on Belvidere and where I was hiking in the AM from the Spruce Ledge Camp.  A nice cool day. Perfect for a walk in the woods. The day was 11 miles.

Driving back to Johnson.

This is a small piece of the Long Trail in Johnson from the Johnson parking area to the Lamoille river. I didn't do this part the other day when I started from the other side of the river so I though I would check it out today.
