Exploring the Hiking Trails of Southern Vermont
It's been said that there are more trails & gravel paths in Vermont than there are actual paved roads. If you spend some time hiking in the woods & glades you might just find out for yourself if it's true or not. Here we've compiled some of the more popular routes and locations in the area - but there are certainly more to discover. Let this guide be a starting point to get you on your way. Don't forget the sunscreen, pack lots of water & snacks, and be sure to charge up that cell phone before heading out.
