had a nice day today that started early - climbing gym and coffee with my bro. Then I hiked solo at an old favorite spot, Stowe pinnacle. In my free time I sometimes find it hard to get out and hike despite it being a favorite hobby of mine - its easy to be discouraged by rain, grey days, smoke, lack of friends and family to go with due to varying work schedules and having friends scattered across time zones. But today I had lots of fun with hiking alone and I really enjoyed meeting this dog/owner at the top. Stopped on the drive home at Cold Hollow for a maple creemee. #Vermonster

Sounds like you had an adventurous day! Climbing, hiking, and even making new furry friends at the top. Hiking alone can be a great way to reconnect with yourself and clear your mind, while also having unexpected encounters like meeting that dog and its owner. And of course, topping it all off with a delicious maple creemee sounds like the perfect treat! Thanks for sharing those awesome pictures. Keep exploring and enjoying those Vermonster adventures! 🏔️🚶♂️🌳
