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 ..

The Path of Life Garden is a crafted landscape open to the public in Windsor, Vermont. Visitors experience the story of the great circle of life while traveling through sculptures of varying sizes and materials. Inspired by a famous garden in Europe, these eighteen works of art symbolize the journey from birth to death and beyond. Since its conception in 1997, the garden has grown on its own path, providing space for recreation, relaxation, contemplation and realization; making it a great destination for families looking for fun things to do around Quechee, Woodstock, and Hanover. The path is also home to some of a 5+ mile trail network, groomed in the winter for dogsledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The garden is located in a 14-acre of field of trails, wildflowers and open spaces on the banks of the Connecticut River. It is enjoyed by people of all ages and was recently featured in Vermont Life and Pastoral Magazine.

My sister and I took my 2 girls 11 and 14 on the river tubing trip. It was an excellent experience! They take you 5 miles up the Connecticut River to the drop off location, and you float back down. It took us about 4 1/2 hours to get to the end, though it seemed much shorter, when we checked the time we were shocked! The river is slow moving and shallow in a lot of spots which made it fun to splash around or push yourself along. They have cooler tubes that you can rent for to bring your snacks and drinks along, we pulled to the riverbank about halfway through and had lunch. I would suggest wearing water shoes and sunscreen as you are in the direct sun for a few hours. Bring plenty of drinks and snacks.
