# Photos from September 2023

![A percolator viewed through an Airstream window, evoking nostalgia and cozy camping vibes.](https://dri.es/files/cache/miscellaneous-2023/percolator-in-airstream-window-640w.jpg)
*We brought our trusty percolator for our "glamping" experience in an Airstream on Cape Cod, USA.*

![A close-up of the aluminum exterior of an Airstream basking in a warm sunset glow.](https://dri.es/files/cache/miscellaneous-2023/airstream-exterior-640w.jpg)
*We spent a few nights in an Airstream, an iconic American trailer recognized for its rounded aluminum exterior.*

![Vanessa hiking down what is a ski slope in winter.](https://dri.es/files/cache/miscellaneous-2023/hiking-killington-peak-640w.jpg)
*We hiked up and down Killington Peak in Vermont. In winter, Killington is a bustling ski resort. Parts of our hike were on the slopes. Another 4,000-footer in the books!*

![A hiker on top of a cliff, raising his trekking poles in triumph.](https://dri.es/files/cache/pemi-loop-2023/at-the-summit-of-mount-bondcliff-640w.jpg)
*At the top of Mount Bondcliff, known for its dramatic cliffs.*

![A hiker with a large backpack ascending a trail with large rocks in between trees.](https://dri.es/files/cache/pemi-loop-2023/garfield-ridge-trail-640w.jpg)
*Making our way up to Garfield Ridge Trail toward Garfield Mountain. Because the trail can be steep and requires careful footing, it slowed down our pace.*

![A hiker filling a water bottle from a small stream.](https://dri.es/files/cache/pemi-loop-2023/refilling-water-on-garfield-ridge-trail-640w.jpg)
*Refilling our water supplies at a stream on Garfield Ridge Trail. On many stretches, you won't find fresh water for miles, so you have to plan ahead and carry 2 or 3 liters of water \(4-6 pounds\).*

![A hiker seated on the ground, looking deflated, eating some food to regain energy.](https://dri.es/files/cache/pemi-loop-2023/resting-near-mount-lafayette-640w.jpg)
*On the edge of giving up, just half a mile shy of Mount Lafayette's peak \(shown in background\).*

![A wooden signpost indicating various trail directions.](https://dri.es/files/cache/pemi-loop-2023/at-the-summit-of-mount-lafayette-640w.jpg)
*At the summit of Mount Lafayette after 6.6 miles of hiking. Just 3.8 miles to Liberty Spring Tentsite.*

![A hiker trekking on a ridge towards a mountain peak.](https://dri.es/files/cache/pemi-loop-2023/franconia-ridge-640w.jpg)
*Klaas hikes from Mount Lafayette to Mount Lincoln along Franconia Ridge, with one of our next peaks looming behind Mount Lincoln.*
