There’s something about hiking in the secluded wilderness of our beautiful Green Mountain State, away from cities and towns, just you out in the middle of nowhere. If you are in quest of such a place, we have the answer. The Barr Hill Hiking Trail is an isolated trail located in the forests of northeast Vermont, outside the town of Greensboro. Take this short and sweet loop trail for spectacular views and a calming and rejuvenating stroll.
We can’t think of a better start to a hike than with a view of the southern Green Mountains, Woodbury Mountain, Camel’s Hump, Elmore Mountain, and Mount Mansfield, which will be viewable from an open field near the trailhead.
