On my Burlington adventure, I began at the waterfront and hung out with my friends. We sat on the rocks and watched some of the mallard ducks swimming around, which was nice since we knew they’d be migrating soon. We then went to Leddy Beach. We had visited here during summer, so seeing it in the fall was a really cool change of pace. Not a lot of people were there, and the water was very beautiful on a windy day. While we were driving to Mount Philo to hike, we saw a buck with large antlers run near the road. We hiked Mount Philo with my sister in law and her dog and watched the sunset together. On our hike, I saw many pioneer species and deciduous trees. The mountain is not quite elevated enough to have a conifer-dominated near the top. We saw Lake Champlain during sunset, and it was very beautiful. A great end to a great day.
