New England Vacation Part I

So our New England vacation officially started on Sunday, May 24th! Our first stop was Quechee Gorge in White River Junction, Vermont. We had been travelling for about 6 hours that day and were so happy for the break! Kaitlyn did so well travelling for such a long period of time; and then to go and put her right into a back pack! Luckily- she loved being in that and looking around at all the nature!



This was a relatively short hike - close to 2 miles by the time we were all done!

This is a picture of the gorge from the bridge on VT-4 165 feet above the river below ( you can see the bridge from down below in a lower picture). The Ottauquechee River flows southward and plunges into the narrow, rocky cleft of Quechee Gorge, 165 deep and over a mile in length.

Quechee Gorge is part of the 612 acre Quechee Gorge State Park

See the bridge in the background?

Although, we could not see rushing waters or waterfalls at this location, it is one of Vermon'ts longest and most famous gorges. It was a beautiful day for a hike!
