Mt. Philo summit hike - Sat. 7/16/16

On Saturday we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and hike Mt. Philo. Stella started off with Dad in the backpack, but wanted to walk with mommy soon after. Mom was pointing out the blue trail markers to Stella. 
Only twenty minutes from Burlington, the trek up Mount Philo offers a steep—albeit brief—climb to a summit view worthy of a much longer hike. As the trek got steeper Stella returned to the backpack. 
At the summit, expansive views to and across Lake Champlain of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains.
Approximately one mile hike to the summit - 2.1 mile round trip. We took in the views and grabbed some snacks before heading back down. 
Stella was pooped out...
and still sleeping when we got back to the parking lot. Zzzzzzzzzz.
