Hiking up Mt Philo.
At one time the valley around the current Lake Champlain was under the ocean. There is a whale Skelton to prove it.
Taking a break.
Steep climb.
View of the Lake and the Adarondack mountains (the New York side)
Cottage at the top of Philo mountain can be hired out for weddings.
View from the top over the lake looking towards New York State.

The other end of the old carriage road.
The Philo Inn. The original farmhouse that owned the mountain before it became a State Park.
We saw a red shouldered hawk! Quite rare.
Hydrangea.
Lunch at Archie’s Grill. I had a pulled pork and coleslaw plate. It was fantastic!
