Hiking back on this part of the trail, the leaves were largely gone and the woods had a strongly November feel to them. I do like season of November, but it seems like summer has so quickly faded in the rear view mirror.

At the end of my hike on Saturday, I walked down to Long Pond down to the boaat launch on the west end of the lake. It was close to sunset, and while the leaves were mostly gone around the lake, it was still a beautiful ending to a nice day.

The reds were quite strong looking east to Bennington. For a while taking in the view, and seeing Stratton Mountain in the distance, I was kicking myself for not bringing my camping gear. But I am content with just enjoying the view, and heading home. I can always go back to Vermont later in November.

I decided to hike up Dickenson Hill Fire at Grafton Lakes State Park today. Been a few years since I've been here and it's not too far from home.

With the afternoon sun, and the clouds pushing in, you could see the parts of the forest that still had brilliant color offset by the areas that are fading away to the grays of winter.
