Hi everyone, hope your summer is going well. Recently I drove up to Stowe, or rather I drove up the toll road on Mount Mansfield. If you do that, which cost $26.00 bucks, you get to the top of the mountain.
Or at least one area of the top. You can then hike 1.4 miles to the highest point on the mountain, which is the highest peak in Vermont. Mount Mansfield is in Stowe, Vermont.
The long trail hiking trail also goes up there and there are several branches you can take. Anyways I took a lot of pictures and also a video using my 70X zoom camcorder.
I made a picture gallery page of the pictures, along with the video. So check it out and see all the great pictures I took plus the video. You can see the big Stowe Mountain Lodge down below.
I highly recommend going up the toll road and seeing the scenery up there. You get a great view right where you park, you don’t have to hike at all if you don’t want to. But many want to say they got to the highest point and hike to the summit. Hope you like the pictures!
Besides taking a lot of fall foliage pictures in Vermont this year, I managed to take some Vermont youtube videos also. One day during a sunny day this fall I took a ride up the gondola cars in Stowe.
The gondolas go up the side of Mount Mansfield, which is the highest peak in Vermont. Once you get up there you can hike, enjoy the view or eat inside the Cliff House restaurant.
Of course in the winter skiers use the gondola cars to get up there and do some nice skiing. Right across the road is the Stowe Mountain Lodge. The gondolas go right to the lodge during the winter. (more…)
Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont is the birthplace of New England skiing, the ski Mecca of the east. Skiing in North America was literally born there. It’s one of the best places to get the full New England ski experience: a combination of spectacular views and challenging ski trails.
What makes this resort so great is that the trails are never too packed, the lodge is clean and brand new, the snow is always good and everyone is chill. Plus the Stowe mountain resort is right on Vermont’s highest mountain, Mount Mansfield.
The Stowe resort and town are quiet and comfortable and feature upscale services including fitness centers, spas, five star dining and much more. Spruce Mountain’s green and blues are great to enjoy the view. Stowe is a family friendly place with children’s programs and a mascot named Snowball who entertains the kids on crowded days. (more…)
