I spent a portion of this break in Randolph VT and I went out hiking in the Rochester wildlife reserve. In the reserve i found a place to stand around sunset and I took a few pictures of the trail.
The elevation in the Rochester wildlife reserve is almost 2000 ft higher than my Phenology place in Burlington, located on the green mountains. The reserve got around 4 inches of snow over the weekend so the trails were still fresh with only a few tracks. The wildlife reserve is mainly coniferous with scattered hardwoods, compared to my phenology spot which is mainly hardwoods with scattered conifers. As a gift to this place I did not stay out past sunset to allow free wildlife activity.
