Hike in Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest's
Northern Region and the Champlain Valley
This 80-mile-long swath of the state dominated
by the Lake Champlain Valley and the west edge of the Green Mountains is perfect for
wanderers with back roads meandering through forests and gently rolling farmlands dotted
with cows and silos. Add to this bucolic landscape the occasional, umbrella-shaped elm
tree punctuating the Adirondack or Green Mountains backdrop and you have walking at its
finest.
We offer many options, and diversity is the name of the hiker's game in
this region. There are ridgeline walks on Snake and Buck Mountains. There are nice walks
near Silver Lake in the Green Mountain National Forest, and at Bristol Pond. There are
pleasant hill walks up Bristol Ledges and Mt. Philo with sweeping views of the Champlain
Valley. More challenging is the ascent of Moosalamoo or Rattlesnake Cliffs looming
over Lake Dunmore. Stretches of the TAM (Trail Around Middlebury) await us. We can even
walk on the shores Lake Champlain on secluded rarely-visited trails!
Small towns like Middlebury, Vergennes and Bristol add flavor to this
trip, as does Burlington and its lakeside walking paths.
Comfortable lodging is included from a choice of many fine inns and
B&Bs.
