The kids enjoyed pretending the travellers' shelter was a haunted house. Lots of animal tracks to investigate.

Cross country skied there one morning while on a short midweek vacation. The trails were very marked and there were lots of side trails that led outside the park boundaries to extend the trip. Sure beat paying $22 to ski at von Trapp!

THese woods were right next to our hotel (Stowehof Inn) and we walked across a field (of snow) to get there. The trails were packed snow and easy to navigate. Varied terrain although no good views of Mount Mansfield in the part we hiked.

Quiet,... More

Great hiking, waterfall is gorgeous! Kids and do the hike, just be careful at the top - stay left I believe. Read the hiking trail info and follow suit! We did it with our small kids!
