August 8, 2021 Christa Meece

Whether you’re exploring Vermont’s covered bridges, visiting Quechee Gorge or skiing at Killington, you’ll find Vermont to be picture-perfect. If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll love Vermont. In winter, of course, there’s plenty of skiing and snowboarding. In the warmer months, however, Vermont offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and boating. If you enjoy boating, swimming and fishing, a vacation rental on Lake Champlain might be perfect for you.

Camel's Hump

At 4083 feet high, this peak is connected to Mount Mansfield by the Long Trail.

Reviewed By G2258YKpaulp - Montpelier, United States

Ok-- it's a mountain-- be prepared for that. Don't listen to the "average times" to get to the top. Even in shape it's a slog up a varied surface trail with changeable weather conditions. Be prepared for that and bring a lot of water. HOWEVER, once up, you'll not want to come down. The views are fantastic on a clear day and the vegetation is protected and beautiful. I managed to hit the summit on a clear day during foliage and it was spectacular. On the downward leg, look for the wing of the B-24 Liberator that crashed into the mountain during WWII, killing the entire crew. Amazingly enough, that's all that's up there. The rest, including four huge Wright Cyclone engines were brought down for scrap by some local farmer years ago, probably by mule.

My husband and I live in southeast Georgia and wanted to go some place beautiful and snowy to celebrate my 60th birthday! Stowe was the perfect choice and Snowmobile Stowe was the highlight! The weather was cold and sunny and could not have been more perfect! In fact, everything was perfect from my initial phone call to schedule, all the way to the end of the back country tour. Our guide, Eli, was so professional, fun, and kind! I only wish the tour would have lasted the entire day! We also enjoyed the pooches, Lil Bit and Lucy! Thanks y’all. We’ll be back!

My husband and I, and another couple recently took the guided snowmobile tour through Snowmobile Vermont - it was more than we could have ever imagined! First, the instructor who led our tour, Geoff White, was amazing. He was funny, very knowledgeable of the trail system and how to operate the snowmobile - he was the perfect tour guide and would highly recommend him. The trails were perfect - we went from wide trails, to backwoods and even across the lake! I can't stress enough how cool the experience was for our whole group.
