The next destination on my Virtual Hike was Milton, Vermont.

The previous destination on my virtual hike was the Trapp Family Lodge.

The virtual hike from the Trapp Family Lodge to Milton went through the Green Mountains in Northern Vermont and down toward Lake Champlain.

There were some great views before heading into the forested mountain roads.

It was really interesting that as I used Street View on Google there was a lot of traffic on the roads. The route of the hike went through Smugglers Notch which is visited by many tourists.

There were also some scenic outlooks where the shoulders of the roads were full of parked cars and people were out enjoying the view.

The images in Google Maps were from October 2018, so there were many colorful trees along the route.

I could have snipped many pictures from this hike as it is very scenic. If you are looking for a good virtual hike, this is a good one to click through on your computer.

I finally made it to Milton, Vermont. It is a town of about 10,000 people and until 50 years ago was less than 5,000. There is also a race track in Milton that many NASCAR drivers competed at when they were younger. 

I have been setting shorter distances between destinations for better motivation for my daily walking and so far it has been working. I have been walking more each day and have made good progress on my Virtual Hike. I am still a few stops behind on my posts.

Next up is to cross Lake Champlain on a ferry over into  New York.

Once I am in New York there will be an interesting literary stop before heading south down through the Hudson River Valley.
