Its name points to a forest experience, making it a fitting choice for an itinerary built around Vermont’s natural places.

A forest visit need not revolve around a long list of activities. The appeal can be in noticing how tree forms, shifting light and the feel of a landscape change as you take in your surroundings. Those simple details encourage a slower rhythm and offer a refreshing contrast to busy sightseeing days. They also make a woodland stop appealing to travelers with different interests, whether nature is the main focus of a trip or a welcome change of pace.

If you enjoy photography, look for broad compositions as well as smaller contrasts in form and light, without relying on a single viewpoint to define the place.
