HIKES: Vermont is known for the Green Mountains, which are visible from Burlington, enticing hikers and skiers out of the city. Within an hour’s drive of the city are trails to climb Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s tallest peak at 4,395 feet (1,340 meters), Camel’s Hump (4,083 feet or 1,244 meters) or Mount Hunger (3,539 feet or 1,079 meters). The region also abounds with shorter, easier hikes such as Moss Glen Falls Trail in Stowe or the Sterling Pond on the Long Trail.
