Long Trail to Secluded Lake
This morning starts slower with a leisurely breakfast and no rushed departure. You'll walk along a running creek on an older section of the Long Trail, moving through dense forest and over mountain terrain. As the day goes on, the trail opens up onto what used to be a logging road, and it follows the creek for most of your walk. By evening you reach camp near a secluded lake with a Long Trail shelter nearby. There's time to get in the lake before your final camp dinner and celebratory fire.

Midday you'll stop at a Long Trail shelter where your guide has prepared lunch. After eating, you finish out the last section of hiking and head back to the vehicle for the drive back to Burlington. From there it's time to say goodbye after a few days in the backcountry.
