Hiking with Kids: Mount Ascutney via Summit & Slab Trails – Windsor, VT (October 3, 2016)

posted in: Hiking with Kids, New England Hiking and Backpacking |

Mount Ascutney, which is named from the derivative of several Abenaki words meaning “mountain of the rocky summit,” has long been a popular hiking destination. Vermont’s, and possibly America’s, first organized mountain-hiking trail was cut through its forests in 1825.

We drove the summit road to the parking area, hoping to get some nice views of the foliage. While we were there, we took some family photos and hiked to the summit.
