Summer in Vermont

Vermont vacation experiences. With flowing streams, hidden
waterfalls, secluded lakes, quaint villages, breathtaking
views, covered bridges, green hills and cool breezes,
the summer seems endless.
Vermont has many unique areas to hike and explore, with
trails for all ages and levels. If you prefer biking you
can tour the region along country roads, scenic Rt 100,
or ride Killington's mountain trails. Or, if adventure
is your passion, try mountain biking at the Killington
Adventure Center where you can ride the gondola to the
top of Killington Peak, and then bike your way down til
your heart's content.
The
Mountain Top Inn & Resort is a perfect summertime
setting with activities galore. Catering to the experienced
horseman and the novice rider, the Equestrian Center comes

rides and horseback riding lessons with breathtaking views.

swimming. For the avid outdoorsman, fly fishing, clay

services will relieve your aching muscles and rejuvenate
your soul. After you have experienced the healing powers

Golf
anyone? Forget whatever connotations you may
have in your head about grabbing a quick nine at your
local course. There's nothing like experiencing the breathtaking
views and panoramic vistas of Vermont's fabulous golf
courses- 270 holes at your doorstep- here's a few we recommend.
You'll want to take your time and enjoy all that these
challenging terrains offer you. The Killington
Golf Course awaits you- Killington's rushing
snowmelt streams and elevation changes make for an exciting
and strategic long game. Generous greens allow you to
attack the flag with confidence. This 6,186-yard, par
72 course presents a refreshing round for any golfer,
no matter what skill level or handicap. And at our 2,000-foot
elevation, gentle breezes offer a soothing respite from
the summer sun. Green Mountain
National Golf Course isn't too shabby
either- There is no finer place to enjoy the game than
Green Mountain National Golf Course in Killington. What
separates this course from others is its unique design
features. Every hole is an entity unto itself. Generously
carved out of the Green Mountains, the course offers solitude
and a private golf experience that will challenge players
of all abilities. Although located in the mountains, you
needn't be a Sherpa to play the course. Gently sloping
fairways that feature generous changes in elevation and
undulating greens provide natural beauty. View the centuries
old rock formations carved by the glaciers as you enjoy
the panoramic views in a spectacular setting.
