Guided Hiking Vacation
Comfortable
lodging is included from a choice of many fine inns and B&Bs.
No trip to this area is complete until
we have made the pilgrimage to the country store in Barnard -
specifically to the old-fashioned soda fountain in the rear. Plus, there
is swimming to be had in sparkling Silver Lake, just a stone's throw
from the store's porch. |

Incredible Backcountry and Lovely Villages
5 Days and 5 Nights
This area of the state near Rutland
eastward to the Connecticut River is loaded with footpaths and
meandering back roads perfect for exploring. We walk along the
Ottauquechee River and view Quechee Gorge just downstream of Woodstock,
a small town known for stately buildings clustered around its
oval-shaped green, for its in-town covered bridge, for the walks up
nearby Mt. Tom, and for its recently-designated national historic park.
We see the Plymouth area with its "chain of lakes" tucked away in the
scenic mountains - a walk along Lake Amherst and one also near
Shrewsbury Peak.
Another highlight is walking on the Appalachian and Long Trails near
Killington or Barnard. A walk of less than an hour brings us to Deerleap
Rock with its superb views of the mountains and valleys in the
Killington area. Ancient hemlock trees in and rushing streams abound.
Mt. Ascutney presides over the Connecticut River and this entire
area. There are interesting trails for us to follow to viewpoints. No
trip to this area is complete, however, until we have made the
pilgrimage to the country store in Barnard - specifically to the
old-fashioned soda fountain in the rear. Plus, there is swimming to be
had in sparkling Silver Lake, just a stone's throw from the store's
porch.
