Geocache Description:

Glastenbury Wilderness (40,000 acres):

This is the largest unbroken tract of land in southern Vermont, and home to the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail. The summit of Glastenbury Mountain offers views of Stratton, Mount Snow, Somerset Reservoir, and more wild, uninhabited land than can be seen from any other place on the Long Trail. This is the future crown jewel of Vermont wilderness.

Pick your own route. Hikers often overnight at the nearby shelter due to the effort involved in accessing this site. You should be prepared for an extended hike.

The listed coordinates are those determined by the first finder. Please use the hint and/or spoiler photo if you have problems. I want this cache to be about the journey, not the find.
