66 DIVISION VII

At this point the approach trail from South Lincoln joins The Long Trail. Those approaching The Long Trail from Bristol and South Lincoln go in by way of Mr. Johnson's lumber road. This is an excellent gravel-surfaced road leading up toward Breadloaf Glen. At 4.2 miles from South Lincoln a side path diverges to the right directly into the Glen to Emily Proctor Shelter, located at a waterfall in a deep gorge. This shelter is provided with a stove, cooking utensils and bunks for 12 or 15. From the point where the side trail to Emily Proctor Shelter diverges, the approach trail continues on up, slabbing the slope of the ravine and in about 3/4 mile reaches Breadloaf Shelter. Boyce Shelter to Breadloaf Shelter, 3.9 miles, 2 1/2 hours (southbound, 2 1/2 hours). From Breadloaf Shelter, The Long Trail ascends the south slope of Mount Woodrow Wilson, whence it passes over the summit of that mountain and of Mount Theodore Roosevelt to Cooley Glen. This portion of the Trail has many fine views, notably from Mount Wilson northeast and south, and from Mount Roosevelt (Killington view) east and south. Cooley Glen Shelter open front, stove, pole bunks for 8 or 10. Splendid water 150 yards to the west. Look out for porcupines. Breadloaf Shelter to Cooley Glen Shelter, 5.6 miles, 3 3/4 hours (southbound, 3 3/4 hours).
