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.

Could use a few more shops and restaurants on property but overall just a perfect hotel. Rooms are really REALLY pretty. The outdoor ice skating rink was magical. Very organized for a large hotel.

Took the trail from Faulkner Park. Easy grade with lots of switchbacks. Couldn't walk on the groomed trail to the lake after reaching the summit but still worth the hike.

This is a wonderful little hike (under 5 miles) up a mountain with a great view point (the NORTH spur view is best) and further on good southern views.

Mountain and state park in Windsor, Vermont.
Reviewed By 45raymondc - Stoughton, United States
Nice Hike to the Tower. There is a person fee. Plenty of trails . You can drive to near the top of the mountain and hike about a mile to the Tower .. Great views for those who physically cannot hike. The tower hike about a mile. Not a tough hike, but it is still a incline hike . Beautiful scenery at the parking and once at the top of the tower scenery is amazing ..

Vermont mountain resembling a person's profile.
Reviewed By DarkPhoenix21 - Robbinsville, United States
We took the drive up Toll Road (off of Mountain Road, at the bottom of the mountain) and made it to the top. While the drive gave me a panic attach (SUPER NARROW - No Ledge), the hiking trail and view from the top is the absolute best. I'd do it over and over again. Although, I may not do the drive up in a large car OR during peak season. The road is barely narrow enough to let a car coming from the opposite side through. And, people driving down have the right of way. Meaning that you have to bare to the right, without driving off the mountain, to let the car coming down through. But again, when you get to the top, it just makes it all worth it. The hike is about 3 miles to the very peak and it's safe enough for young children (with parent supervision). My 10 year old LOVED it. Make sure to wear hiking shoes or shoes with a good enough grip to prevent slipping. At times some of the rocks are wet and make it easy to slip and fall (not fall off the mountain - just fall and hit yourself on the rocks or twist an ankle).
10. Mount Equinox

Drive this scenic mountain which is also used as a outdoor classroom for the study of various species of plants and animals. At 5.2 miles, the Mount Equinox Skyline Drive is the longest privately owned paved toll road in the U.S. Those who prefer to hike can pick up a trail map at the Toll House. At the top of the mountain is our new Saint Bruno Scenic Viewing Center packed with info about Equinox Mountain and the Carthusian Monks. The private property which is 7,000 acres is owned by the Carthusain monks. A cloistered order of Catholic monks. There is the Catholic gift shop at the bottom of the mountain and also souvenirs from your trip.

A fantastic drive up the mountain with different views of the surrounding mountains from each lookout spot til you reach the summit. Wow! You can see for Miles on a good day! The leaves were beautiful and added to the wonderful views! You can check the weather at the top in a live feed at the shop at the base where you pay the entrance fee.
