The view from atop Green Mountain in Vermont’s Green National Forest via the Green Mountain Trail. I hiked up the mountain to the top where I rock scrambled a bit and then descended into the valley below to finds a little glacier pond called Little Rock Pond.

This was the first camping/traveling adventure I had done solo in a while. The excursion was also to celebrate my new single status, having recently rid my life of an extremely toxic boyfriend. It was much needed to find the inner Nikki and search for some self in the surroundings of Nature!
