Scenes of Vermont Forums

Gopal, I want to throw in my thoughts. This view of Lower Pleasant Valley Road could be from Cady Hill Road. I will wait till others chime in as they come on to the forum. CT

Hello SOVTers, what a great way to end a beautiful summer weekend, than a last minute trip to southern VT! I referenced this trip today in my “I'm craving cider donuts!” post so I wanted to share my findings and joy of this lovely place right on route 30 in back of Grafton Cheese. I have had this ge...

Hey Colorado Mom and Gator! Great ideas! I don't know what's gotten into me the past few days, but I can feel the seasons changing and Vermont is calling. (And I must go.... had to add this :) ). Well, next weekend we hope to get back up for the day and I need to stop at the Apple Barn in Bennington...

Have a great weekend fall foliage fanatics!

Wow! Woke up to 50's this morning with the windows open all night! :shock: What a nice early blast of cool air this whole weekend to remind us of what is about to unfold in just a few weeks. The excitement is building despite the fact that we have had quite the summer of relentless heat and heat wav...

I've been trekking up to Vermont quite a bit lately! And the Bluebird Express on Mt. Snow did not disappoint! What a gorgeous day to take the express up and hike around the summit. The 360 views were awash with blue skies, white puffy clouds and breezy conditions once again, not to mention 100% visi...

Thanks Gator! Love sharing tidbits, especially my Vermont hiking adventures! CT

Hello SOV'ers! Just got back from another great hike with a wow payoff view at the Haydock Vista! To start the day, we somehow missed the correct exit off 91 to get to our trailhead, thus ending up on a series of endless, rural back dirt roads which proved to be quite interesting! :mrgreen: Complete...

Hello Gator and Colorado Mom! Oh my! It's been months since I've posted on the forum! I've been inundated with five house remodeling/upgrading projects and I think I've bitten off more than I can chew! :shock: I'm so excited for autumn in Vermont but this year it will be more about my hiking excursi...

Happy 4th to our SOV foliage fanatics! Woodstock was absolutely gorgeous Sunday, July 3rd. The weather was picture perfect, in the 70s with a steady breeze, blue bird skies and white puffy clouds (and no bugs)! Can you say “blissful”? Headed up early morning from northern CT to Faulkner Park to hike...

Hi Gator! Nice to see you back here on the forum. I'm so excited for autumn in Vermont too! Our trees are pushing buds quickly now and soon we will be fully leafed out. Where do you stay in Vermont? I'm currently planning all my hiking trips starting late June. Not to fast forward our beautiful spri...

https://dorsetvt.org/hike.html Now that I've fallen in love with the town of Dorset, I've discovered this great website for hiking in the area. There are so many hikes it is amazing. Since I've entered the hiking phase/passion of my life, I am planning to try a few on a couple of daytrips. The one t...

Hi Colorado Mom, nice to see you back here. I have a lot of favorites :D but I do love the Waitsfield/Warren area. If I were to chose an ultimate favorite, it would be Peacham. Are you going to try to get up to these two places at all next fall? Also, if I were to buy my second home in Vermont, it t...

Hi Bob, glad you had a nice time in Vermont. Did you mean the West Hill House? That is where I stayed a couple of years ago in Warren. 4 star accommodations! I agree with you about the hiking spot. :D It is certainly a must do as you said. We hiked that land trust called Mine Hill Preserve and it wa...
