What are the best Vermont hiking trails?

We all know Vermont has some incredible natural areas to explore. Here are a few of the best Vermont hiking trails to get you inspired to enjoy the outdoors:

  • Sterling Pond Trail, Stowe, VT: If stunning views of alpine lakes get your heart pumping, this 2.1-mile trail is just for you. Located in the enchanting Smugglers' Notch State Park you'll be swept away by its natural beauty. It's a moderately difficult hike but well worth the extra effort it might take to tackle a few slick rocky spots.
  • Sunset Ridge Trail, Underhill, VT: Hiking Mount Mansfield, the highest mountain in Vermont, might come with some challenging terrain, but the views are simply magical. Taking the Sunset Ridge Trail to The Chin, as this particularly iconic section of the mountain is called, will reward you with epic views and stunning sunsets if you can time your hike just right.
  • Quechee Gorge Trail, Quechee, VT: Another pretty epic trail in Vermont is hiking through the Quechee Gorge on this hike to Dewey's Mills Pond along the Ottauquechee River. Perhaps eh best part of this short and sweet easy 1.3-mile trail is that everyone can enjoy it.
  • Long Trail, Bolton, VT: The Appalachian Trail gets a lot of attention, and deservedly, however, the Long Trail is another long hike that runs through Vermont. In fact, it is the oldest long-distance trail in the United States. When you take the trail to Camel's Hump you'll be climbing nearly 7,000 feet, very impressive, sometimes challenging, and always inspiring.

 

It's impossible to mention all of the best trails in Vermont in one go, but we have taken on the challenge by putting together a pretty epic guide to the best hiking trails in Vermont. Check it out!
