Running to the Gile Mountain Fire Tower
My first run up Gile Mountain on the Blue Ribbon Trail. It was a 3.5 mile uphill run with a nice reward at the top, a view from the top of the fire tower. A little mud at the top with a very fast last mile. The trailhead starts 3.5 miles up Beaver Meadow Rd on the right in Norwich, VT. There is also a 20 minute hike to the tower via Turnpike Road.
