in Worldmappinlast month

The beautiful Fall colors started even before I got to the Stowe pinnacle parking area. The hike up through the hardwood forest was like walking through a kaleidoscope landscape. The morning sun burned off the early mist, and the view from the top was truly awe inspiring.

According to my All Trails app, the complete hike was 3.47 miles with a 1,063ft elevation gain. It only took me 1hr, although I did spend some time at the summit flying my drone.

Luckily the Stowe Land Trust saved a bunch of this land from development.

I wanted to see what the hike looked like with all the Fall colors. It did not disappoint.

Almost there. I am about to leave the colorful forest behind, and enter a high elevation evergreen forest.

Get ready for a couple of steep sections shortly after this sign.

I wish I could also add a couple of drone videos to here, but the still will have to suffice. It was a wonderful way to start the day and a downright pleasant 'Wednesday Walk'.
