Stratton Mountain is one of the most iconic peaks on the Long Trail, but not for its height, but rather for its historical significance. It was here in 1909 that James P. Taylor first imagined a “footpath in the wilderness,” which eventually became the Long Trail. The summit is forested, but a restored fire tower (that you can climb!) offers expansive 360-degree views of southern Vermont and the surrounding peaks. Today, Stratton is also home to a major ski resort, but the Long Trail bypasses the commercial slopes, staying on a quieter, wooded path. A nearby shelter, Stratton Pond Shelter, provides a peaceful overnight spot, just a short hike from the summit. This is a pretty built-up shelter (especially in comparison to the more common, simple three-sided lean-tos) so it's worth checking out even if you're not spending the night.

The Fort Hill Recreational Trail is a 9-mile long multiuse trail that is built along the old Boston and Maine Railroad. The surface is crushed stone and gravel and is a great place for a quiet run.

The trail is a pleasant, peaceful hike through the woods along a number of waterfalls.

Clearing that gives a great view of the mountains and valleys in the area. It is a popular spot, so there is a good chance you will see others at the viewpoint.

The Native Americans of the region used to call the West River "Wantastiquet" which means "waters of the lonely way”. The Wantastiquet Trail is connected to both the mountains and the West River. This path was an important link that connected Fort Drumner and the Green Mountains.

The top of Stratton Mountain supports a fire lookout tower that is on the National Register of Historic Places. As you might imagine, the views from up here are great.

It's a nice challenge for any hiker with a rewarding view at the end.
