ラモイル郡の天然記念物・トップ8

Sunset Rock offers a nice panorama of Main Street and a welcome pause after climbing about 100 feet in elevation. You can also see the Glacial Kettle Hole, a circular formation created 10,000 years ago by melting glaciers.

This trailhead at the end of Sunset Street is the best location to start a hike to Sunset Rock. Since this is a residential street, parking isn’t allowed but you’ll find plenty of parking options at the start of the Stowe Recreation Path or along Main Street. It’s a short walk from either spot!

This is an easily accessible summit with a fire tower at the top. The views from the tower are awesome, and since it is a pretty accessible hike, it is very family and dog friendly.

Located in rural Vermont, Elmore State Park is a beautiful state park with pleasant trails, scenic views, a lake and mountain. It is a stunning area year-round, with particularly striking views in the fall. It's also important to note that there is an entrance fee for the park, with different costs depending on your age and group.

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.

The Moss Glen Falls is a scenic, 125-foot waterfall accessed via a short hike in the CC Putnam State Forest. This amazing waterfall is a must-see if you are in the area! This is a great viewpoint from a narrow ridge above the falls; you can really get a sense of their impressive size from here.

From this overlook ,you get fantastic views of Mt. Mansfield, framed by old stone walls that date back to the 1800s. When taking in this quintessential New England view, you should also keep an eye out for wildlife like foxes, coyotes, and turkeys that like the cover that the trees provide at the edge of the forest.

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.
