The sun came out on Sunday. I did another unremarkable stretch of trail in the morning and headed for home. On my way home I stopped off at the new trail that cuts over to the Lamouille river suspension bridge. This is a new bridge that the Green Mountain Club put in last fall. It cuts out a 5 mile road walk which was the old route to get hikers across the river prior to the bridge construction. The bridge cost them $100,000 (with lots of donations and volunteer labour to install) so that was a big purchase for the club. I couldn't get a good picture of the bridge (you'll have to go visit it yourself) but the new trail cuts across this field and into a nice wooded glen before coming out on the river bank. It makes for a much nicer trail rather then following the road to the highway overpass the old route took. Money well spent.
