Belvidere Mt hike

It was a cool morning, just the right temperature. for hiking.  Five of us made the trip to Belvidere Mt in Eden, VT.  The GMC had just finished relocating 0.9 miles of the trail to get it off of private land.  The new trail was lovely – it was less steep than the old trail, with more switchbacks and many fewer roots and rocks than the rest of the trail.  There were a couple of new bridges which looked like they will last forever!  When we got to the top, the wind was howling.  It was 60 degrees out, but it felt much colder.  Two of us went up the tower, whose railing was only waist high, but sufficient to keep us from getting blown away.  We took a few photos, and then we all went back down the trail a bit to find a sheltered place to eat lunch.
