It's strange to describe, but honestly it's a bit dry. We're a long ways from moondust, but definitely wouldn't be the worst trailwise if we would get some rain. But as has become habit, September is the nicest weather of the year in VT and this is no exception. Come enjoy the weather on our trails! reporter
