Abraham & Ellen Vermont 4000 footers hike
Details
537 Jim Dwire Rd, Lincoln, VT 05443
Meet here at the Jerusalem Trailhead at 3:45am with Winter gear. This Hike is for experienced Winter hikers only! Snowpack on this ridge is brutal and bailouts are common on this route. If your experienced and want to bag 2 of the VT5 in one day, this Hike is for you.
We'll shuttle to the Batell Trailhead for 4am.
1922-1940 Elder Hill Rd, Lincoln, VT 05443
Hoping to catch sunrise on Abraham if possible, but will adjust pacing for the slowest members of the group. If you begin to feel tired or cold by the summit of Abraham, I HIGHLY recommend you turn around then. The ridge will have more than 3ft of snow most likely. Expect unbroken Trail. Emergency shelter, SNOWSHOES, 2l of water, and proper layering are a must for this hike.
