What a lot of great info!

Looks like I have a bunch of new places to explore... if it ever stops raining.

Thanks to everyone for all your great info and especially for the great weather forecast for this weekend. We're heading up friday morning and hope to have the tents up early enough for an afternoon hike from Lincoln Gap. I can't tell you how excited the boys are to hike the mountain. They want to bike it too but without the lifts running that may be impractical (hello Win!). Thanks again everyone.

Don't forget to file your \"trip report\" so we know you made it home and if you got good advice...

Trip report- I can't thank all of you enough (especially whoever was responsible for the absolutely spectacular weather). The camp site in Granville was unbelievably perfect. Pitched the tents right by the stone bridge. The roaring brook made for some fine sleeping and the kids had a blast playing around and riding their bikes. Caught a great sunrise on saturday morning (but no Moose).
Friday we did the hike from Lincoln Gap road to the Battel shelter but had to turn back haifway to Mt. Abraham because of time. We also did some swimming and jumping (not me) at the Warren Falls swimming hole, which was great. The kids thought kayaking the Winooski was really cool with all that \"whitewater.\" I just enjoyed the trip and the Vermonster I picked up at the Warren store for lunch on the river.

My only complaint was that we didn't have enough time to do everything there was to do. Now, if I can just convince my wife to go up before Labor day for a couple of days instead of going to my in-laws...


We checked out the construction at the base but I will post my comments on a new thread.

Then I would like to know who... in the chamber of commerce has been screwing up the weather for most of the spring/early summer. And then I'd like to talk about the winter!

no, no, no.... the Chamber of Commerce only gets credit for good weather. You blame the Weather Channel for bad weather. You also get to blame the Weather Channel for claiming bad weather & conditions in the winter when indeed, the conditions are great! I am not sure that is a battle we can win....

HowieT: glad you enjoyed the camping spot. It's a great spot, no one really uses it and the brook is excellent. For the more adventurous, the brook gorge can be hiked in low water with tevas and some hiking poles. The gorge is quite deep, so it has some awesome views when you are down in it. Again, glad you liked it.AHM

That spot isn't good, it is spectacular. Our only complaint was that we weren't there longer so we could explore more. Thank you so much. I owe you a beer or two at the new lodge.
