One of the many perks of spending time in nature is getting to take in an array of landscapes. If this is up your alley, I suggest hitting up Vermont’s Windsor Trail. In addition to being based in Mt. Ascutney State Park, this trail has something for everyone. This includes epic views, wildflowers, opportunities to see wildlife, a river, a waterfall, and even a forest! Hike the Windsor Trail when you’re looking for a memorable way to spend time outside.
To get started on your hike up Windsor Trail, take I-91 N to VT-44A W in Windsor if you're coming from Southern Vermont.
Since the hike is rated difficult, take a look at our
Ultimate Hiking Guide for useful tips. This will help prepare you for challenging ledges like this one along the trail.
You'll come across Gerry Falls as you hike along this in-and-out trail. Since you'll hit this scenic spot about 20 minutes into your adventure, I think it's a great place to take your first break along this hard trail.
Another perk to why this trail can't be topped is that it's open throughout the entire year. Therefore, it's an ideal destination during the leaf-peeping season.
Take a look at AllTrails to learn more about why the Windsor Trail in Vermont truly can’t be beaten. And, if you’ll like to hit more impressive hikes, I encourage you to check out this piece about waterfall hikes in Vermont. You might also enjoy our guide to the best waterfalls in Vermont as well.
