November 12, 2007 Hike #2
After bagging Jay Peak and Big Jay this morning, Lynn and I still had a couple hours to spare. We decided to hike the Journey's End Trail up to the Northern Terminus of the Long Trail which is located on the Vermont/Canadian border.

It was a very gradual climb, but had some steep parts near the end.

Then I took a turn. This was my 2nd "invasion" of Canada this year.

We looked down the boundary and saw another marker.
This one actually had Canada and U.S. engraved on the corresponding sides.

We returned over the same route.
