Dog Mountain, Home of Stephen Huneck Gallery

Dog park

👍👍 This place is a GEM in Vermont! My Aunt recommended it and she was so right! Not only is the art and chapel a sight to behold but the nice trail walk is splendid too. We loved seeing all of the love for long lost fur kids. It brought tears to all of our eyes, not for the sadness but the beauty and l...

Mount Major Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 This hike’s popularity is well deserved. I hiked with a group of friends on a cloudier day. The hike itself was moderately hard with some sections where you need to use some hands if theres been rain recently. The top view is amazing even with cloudy weather. Recommend packing a lunch and eating it...

Welch-Dickey Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Amazing views! Highly recommend!! My boyfriend and I hiked it in 2.25 hours with a couple of stops to sit, eat, and take in the 360 mountain views. Its definitely got some steep rock climbs that are a little challenging. Wouldn't recommend bringing a dog unless they are more experienced hikers. One...

Beaver Brook Association

😐 Let’s not replace all of the bridges with poured concrete, please. I liked this area when it looked like a part of nature, now it’s an eyesore on the trail.

Mount Arab Fire Tower

State park

👍👍 Excellent trail. Very well maintained with markings on the trees every 10 meters or so. You can definitely brings the dogs and kids on this trail as it’s only 1.9 miles out and back. Be aware that the elevation gain is roughly 750 and you will be climbing the whole way to the top pretty much. The si...

Rocky Mountain Summit

Park

👍👍 Great mountain for hiking. The trail is rugged, and makes you climb up some steeper inclines. I preferred this much over other trails, which tend to just be flat dirt trails. It only took about 15-20 minutes to reach the top,and once we got there, the view was gorgeous. You can see over Raquette lak...

Ammonoosuc Ravine Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 The trailhead may not be very interesting but the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail itself the blast in the winter. Yes it's a long climb up but sliding back down makes you think you're young again. Be warned there are very steep sections on the way up. Make sure you're in the right shape and have the right...

Intervale Center

Non-profit organization

👍👍 Wow, really interesting little local festival. Jam band music, family friendly, kids everywhere, microbrewery tents, and foodie food trucks with award winners galore. All locally sourced, and even had educational people running around explaining about their compostable plastic-type dinnerware. Fr...

Piper Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 The Piper Trail is a challenging trail that summits Mt. Chocorua (3,500 ft.) in 4.3 miles and 2,700 ft. of elevation gain. Camp Penacook Shelter can be reached by following the Piper Trail for 2.8 miles to a marked spur trail leading to the 3-sided lean-to and outhouse. I took Weetamoo to Hamond and...

Mount Willard

Hiking area

👍👍 Perfect morning hike with our 12 year old. The view is awesome. We started at 9 am and had the summit to ourselves for a few minutes. Passed a lot of people headed up as we descended. So going early is much quieter.

Heaven Hill Trails

Hiking area

👍👍 Great local hiking spot! Each individual trail is relatively short and there is little elevation gain so they are really just walks in nature. We combined different trails to extend the duration of our hike. Highly recommend it for the accessibility!

Tree Farm Campground

Campground

👍👍 Our family recently ventured out to Vermont to enjoy some new camping adventures after seeing a post on Facebook about openings here during Labor Day weekend. It was not in our original plans to travel during that weekend but we decided to go for it anyway and WOW, are we glad we did! Tree Farm Camp...
