バーモントの天然記念物・トップ20

This is a great family-friendly spot, and only one mile from the parking lot via trail. A knob of smooth Vermont bedrock rises over Route 4, granting panoramic views south to Mount Killington and the surrounding peaks. Great spot for a picnic!

Woodstock Middle Covered Bridge has spanned the Ottauquechee River since 1969 and was supposedly constructed without the use of any nails.

A bicycle highlight, even though cycling is forbidden there…

Known as Vermont's Grand Canyon, you get a splendid view of the gorge from the road bridge. You can also park up your bike and take the hiking path to explore it further and go for a swim in the summer.

The Quechee Gorge Bridge overlooks the Quechee Gorge, which is also known as "Vermont's little Grand Canyon." This deep, mile-long chasm was formed during the Ice Age, by the melting waters of a receding glacier about 13,000 years ago. This bridge offers a great view over one of the state's most stunning natural wonders; you can gaze down at the Ottaquechee River flowing through the gorge from over 168 feet in the air! This bridge is a great place to begin or end your walk in the Quechee State Park.

The Cliff Trail is a challenging, exposed, exciting, and unique trail on the Mt. Mansfield ridge line. Although the trail itself is only 0.8 miles (one way), it is one of the most difficult and potentially dangerous hikes in the area; you are hiking largely on exposed rock faces, which are often wet and slippery. There are also moments when you need to cross over large gaps in the rocks, climb a wooden ladder, and most of the trail is exposed and is frequently windy. All this being said, however, this is a fantastic trail that offers a great challenge for hikers who might enjoy a more scramble-y way to traverse just below the iconic Mansfield ridge line.

Bingham Falls is a 40-foot waterfall accessible via a short .25 mile hike and is one of Vermont's most popular waterfalls. Its easy access and photographic nature make is a fantastic short outing for locals and visitors alike. Just be aware that it is a little steeper at the bottom as you near the falls and is frequently wet and slippery.
