Guided Fall Foliage Hikes

Participants join Green Mountain Club staff on the Short Trail to experience autumn foliage and learn what causes leaves to change into red, yellow, and orange hues. The interpretive trail mimics hiking on the Long Trail with features like white blazes, trail staircases, and a relocated wooden shelter. Hikers can also gather tips for hiking during foliage season and get recommendations for other scenic trails across Vermont.
