Woodstock, Vermont is a hiker’s dream. The town itself is known as the ‘prettiest small town in America’ and the valley and surrounding hills and mountains are protected by 6 different parks with a combined 1500 acres of land and 30 miles of hiking trails. All this awaits us just minutes from our inn, The Woodstock Inn and Resort. The inn defines sophistication without pretension and offers visitors Four Diamond lodging and dining in an historic setting.

Hiking includes the lovely switchback trail that leads up Mount Tom (just minutes from the inn’s door) for surprisingly spectacular views down to the town below. The Appalachian Trail also passes through a corner of town and rewards us with pastoral views of green woods and greener pastures.

More ambitious hiking awaits us nearby. At 3150’, Mount Ascutney stands like a sentinel over the tranquil Connecticut River Valley and rewards hikers with panoramic views of Vermont and New Hampshire from the open ledges and look-out tower at the summit. Shrewsbury Peak, on the shoulder of Mt. Killington (the second highest peak in Vermont at 4235’) delivers impressive views from the spine of the Green Mountain Range. We will also include a visit to the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park, with its interpretative programs and over 400 paintings and prints of American landscapes.

Trips begin with dinner on Friday and end after hiking and lunch on Monday.
