Vermonts Green Mountains are the peaks that gave the 14th state its name. Still largely covered by the verdant forest, the area is a year-round destination, popular with both skiers and hikers. The Long Trail, a wilderness hiking trail, traverses the state, while drivers set a slower pace on Vermonts scenic roads. Quaint towns, such as Stowe and Montgomery, acres of farmed valleys, apple orchards, covered bridges and specialty stores take visitors back in time, and charming inns await.

We were on a road trip to the north side of Vermont and we made a stop here to let our kids run around. They loved the playground at this park! Very good mix of equipment for little ones and bigger kids. Great scenery!

Historic home of Robert Lincoln, only child of President and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to adulthood. The estate has beautiful gardens, restored 1903 wooden Pullman palace car, goat farm and cheesemaking facility, 12+ miles of walking trails, teaching greenhouse and cross-country skiing in winter.
After visiting Manchester dozens of times, we finally went to HIldene and can't believe we didn't go before. The entrance fee seemed pretty high, but surely that is needed to support the maintenance and operation. You could spend much of a day touring the historic house and restored Pullman car (with great docents to give insight into what you're seeing), visiting the goats and farm, and hiking or skiing the trails.

Drive this scenic mountain which is also used as a outdoor classroom for the study of various species of plants and animals. At 5.2 miles, the Mount Equinox Skyline Drive is the longest privately owned paved toll road in the U.S. Those who prefer to hike can pick up a trail map at the Toll House. At the top of the mountain is our new Saint Bruno Scenic Viewing Center packed with info about Equinox Mountain and the Carthusian Monks. The private property which is 7,000 acres is owned by the Carthusain monks. A cloistered order of Catholic monks. There is the Catholic gift shop at the bottom of the mountain and also souvenirs from your trip.
A fantastic drive up the mountain with different views of the surrounding mountains from each lookout spot til you reach the summit. Wow! You can see for Miles on a good day! The leaves were beautiful and added to the wonderful views! You can check the weather at the top in a live feed at the shop at the base where you pay the entrance fee.

We were looking for a day spot for a three generation get together. Fishing, swimming and picnicking were the activities for the day. Woodford did not disappoint. We will definitely return

Quiet and beautiful hike. Fairly moderate. You can easily take your dog, we saw several on our hike. The falls are a great spot to relax after a good hike!
