Mendon Peak & Killington Peak 5.26.2018
Getting back to peaks on the New England Hundred Highest list, today's primary goal was Mendon Peak (3,840 ft). Given the Proximity to a 4000 footer and a common bushwhack route, I decided to add on Killington Peak (4, 235 ft) as well. The route for today was old woods roads and bushwhacks until about a third of a mile from Killington. It was a bit warm and humid with a little wind. The bugs were horrendous with the only real break from them coming on the summit of Killington where the wind could keep them away. The hike was a total of 11.23 miles with 3,191 feet of overall elevation gain

Dutchman's Breeches. I've seen the plant before, but hadn't seen them in bloom until today. Because of this, it was worth stopping in a swarm of bugs to get pictures
