Rent some good bikes and do it. Did it with family, youngest is 10. No probkem at all as the entire path is pretty much flat and paved so it is really easy to ride. Beautiful scenery all the way through, and some really magical spots to stop and admire the area.

Snowmobile Tours
Reviewed By Voyage816831
My husband and I live in southeast Georgia and wanted to go some place beautiful and snowy to celebrate my 60th birthday! Stowe was the perfect choice and Snowmobile Stowe was the highlight! The weather was cold and sunny and could not have been more perfect! In fact, everything was perfect from my initial phone call to schedule, all the way to the end of the back country tour. Our guide, Eli, was so professional, fun, and kind! I only wish the tour would have lasted the entire day! We also enjoyed the pooches, Lil Bit and Lucy! Thanks y’all. We’ll be back!

We were early arrivals to the tiny parking lot at the trailhead. The walk starts gently through a dense marshy meadow, then gradually ascends through forest. About 2/3 of the way to the top it becomes quite steep; the average grade is close to 20% (1500 feet in 1.5 miles). Once at the top you are rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view of the entire valley. Well worth the 2.5 hours round trip. It was a dog party at the top by the time we left; it seems everyone wanted to take their pup up to the top.
