Bromley Mountain, VT
Date Hiked: 12/29/06
Trails(s) Hiked: Appalachian Trail
Total Distance: ~6 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Conditions: Clear
Special Required Equipment: None
My original intent was to hike the Appalachian Trail north from Mad Tom Notch over Styles Peak, however a sign saying no vehciles kept me away (I was unsure how much of a road hike I'd have to do to get to the trailhead). As a result, I went to plan B, which was to hike Bromley from the Route 11 trailhead.
Despite the unseasonably warm December, the trail was definitely winterlike. While there was only a dusting of snow at the base, pretty much everything above 2,100 feet had an inch or two of solid crust.
The visibility was excellent - New York state, Killington, Monadnock, and a bit of the White Mountains.
