So in 2021, Caitlin (Thumbsucker) and I went back to the Long Trail and started where we left off and finished that dang trail. While we enjoyed hiking together, neither of us really enjoyed this trail. But….we had to finish it!

Starting back at the Hike Inn, we headed out and encountered the same as before—gnarly roots, rocks, slick and sticky mud and straight ups and downs without switchbacks. There were still no views and the trail was not well maintained. We slogged through it though and actually made it to the Canadian border—-the northern terminus—-FINALLY!! It’s done!

I would never do it again, nor would I ever recommend it to anyone to do. Glad it’s done, but now way, no how again! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
