Rent some good bikes and do it. Did it with family, youngest is 10. No probkem at all as the entire path is pretty much flat and paved so it is really easy to ride. Beautiful scenery all the way through, and some really magical spots to stop and admire the area.

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!

I'd read other reviews about places to buy maple syrup in VT and decided to check out SMP for myself. The owner (sorry I forgot your name!) knew his business, plus gave us tastes of the 3 grades of syrup to help us decide which one(s) to get. We ended up ordering a half gallon of Grade A and a quart of Grade A Amber, both to be shipped and arrive to our home once we were back from vacation. We got back Saturday and our syrup joined us on Monday!! We'll finally be able to try them out on waffles later this weekend morning. As far as cost, we paid $74 for 3/4 of a gallon of pure VT maple syrup, which included shipping. I consider this a bargain for enjoying our VT vacation for many breakfasts to come!

8. Stowe Mountain Resort

A classic Vermont ski getaway, popular with families because of its excellent ski/snowboard school and child-friendly amenities.
Reviewed By bhink0506 - Medford, United States
Most people probably come here in Winter, but Stowe is as charming in Summer. The gondola ride to the (almost) top of the mountain is breathtaking, and the hiking trails from there are a lot of fun. Some are trails very treacherous, so be sure to wear proper shoes and be in proper shape to hike them. The views are wonderful. I highly recommend Stowe.
9. Mount Mansfield

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).

With a short walk, you can enjoy a ravine with a waterfall.
Reviewed By RezzyKin - Seymour, United States
Made a point to stop by after seeing some reviews and it was well worth it! The trail to get to the base of the hill was simple terrain laced with wooden planks to help get through the softer ground/water. That same path has some places to stop and see the river that is fed by the falls. It was a quiet and peaceful spot, even on busy days. I would, however, suggest shoes with good ankle support at the very least if you intend to head up and see the falls themselves. The path can be slick and the terrain, as you would have guessed, is quite rocky and jagged on the way up. Tje view is worth it though!
