All Day Hike: 5 caves, 1 waterfall and countless lookouts!






We had a fabulous time on the all day hike. We climbed Mount Moosalamoo to the Wiantanog Lookout and the Over Cliff Trail down to the Caves Trail to Generals Lookout. From there we climbed to Majors Lookout for lunch before heading to Josh's Cave. Josh's Cave has many chambers and the campers had a great time exploring. Next we headed to the Falls of Lana and back on the Ethan Allen Trail, past the infamous Ethan Allen Cave where the Green Mountain Boys hid Native American clothing to fool the New York tax collectors. A fabulous day!

Ask your camper why there are pitch pines- a very rare tree in Vermont- in this particular location.

Pitch Pine Point

Group 9 hiked up to Pitch Pine Point (PPP) this afternoon after lunch. As we went up we had the group ahead going to Generals hike spot two owls. Later after much steep and not so steep hiking we reached the lookout point and watch some vultures along the ridge.
Check out the short video below of the hike.

Owl Spotting on Generals!






Group 8 hiked to Generals lookout. On the way we spotted three beautiful barred owls- look closely. This is a challenging hike with lots of climbing. Well done group 8!
