Mount Abraham is a 4,006-foot summit that offers expansive views. From the top, you can spot Mount Ellen and Lake Champlain off in the distance. Being one of the Vermont 4,000-foot peaks, this mountain sees a fair bit of traffic.

Located in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Appalachian Gap is a popular spot for cyclists, motorcyclists, and hikers. The views across the gap of the Champlain Valley & Adirondack Mountains are excellent.

The Appalachian Gap marks the divide between two different drainage systems, although both eventually feed into Lake Champlain. In more practical terms, this gap is a wonderfully easy-access spot to enjoy views of Lake Champlain, the Champlain Valley, and the Adirondack Mountains.

Although it's a skiing destination in winter, Stark Mountain (or General Stark Mountain) is a great hiking destination in the summer. It's on the Vermont Long Trail and is part of the famed Monroe Skyline, a ridgewalk that offers stunning views in all directions.

4,049-foot (1,234 m) high Mount Ellen is one of just a few Vermont peaks that reach over the 4,000-foot mark. It's part of the spectacular Monroe Skyline, which also includes Mount Abraham to the south. The two peaks are connected by the Long Trail.

You can get some great views out over the surrounding mountains from this 3,812-foot (1,162 m) peak. There's a small hut that marks the top of the ski lift from Sugarbush Ski Resort down below. During the summer you can hike up from Sugarbush, or approach from the north or south via the Long Trail. If you hike up from Sugarbush, you'll be sharing the trail with bicycles and 4x4 vehicles.

At 3,975 feet (1,212 m), Lincoln Peak is arguably the centerpiece of Sugarbush Ski Resort, with great views over the surrounding mountains. There are two different ways to reach the peak during the summer: Hiking up from the base of Sugarbush, which is free to do in the summer (but watch for bike and 4x4 traffic on the same trail); or via the Long Trail.

The Waterbury Reservoir offers many recreational opportunities from fishing, canoeing, kayaking, motor-boating, and swimming to hiking and camping. In the warmer months (late spring to early fall), the reservoir is kept at about 850 acres and at a max depth of ~100 feet. In the winter, the surface area is reduced to between 415 - 610 acres to prepare for spring snowmelt and rains. This scenic beach is a great place to relax and dip your feet in the water after a hike in the Little River State Park.
