We are looking for the perfect one to two night backpacking trip with a fit and able 10 year old (her first time) ideally in Central VT during mid to late August. We are experienced (although lapsed) backpackers (up to five nights in the Presidentials) and plan to tent off trail. About three hour hike in, enough elevation gain to be rewarding but not too discouraging, views, fishing, swimming, dog-friendly, no bugs, no mud, minimal crowds. Just kidding about the mud and bugs - and only hopeful about the fishing and swimming. Thanks!
