Chittenden Halloween Surprise Loop

A ride through the woods with a brutal climb at the end. For anyone toting a load I recommend taking the road from the dam to Leffert’s Pond instead of the muddy super steep trail. The only views come from the dam, and through people’s yards on the road north east of the reservoir, or by bushwhacking to the shore. We made camp in an area that would probably be too swampy most of the year.
Mostly it was enjoyable,but not awesome.

I said, “It was mostly enjoyable, but not awesome.” In my previous comment. I had recently returned from rid the GDMBR which really spoiled me. VT generally doesn’t offer grand vistas. You’ve got to enjoy the micro views instead. The mossy boulder with gnarly tree roots, the mini waterfall…
I think of this route quite often. I think I’ll ride it again 👍🏼
