The crushed gravel path is open to walkers, runners, cyclists, and in the winter, to cross-country skiers and snowshoers. This trail is a scenic, car-free way to enjoy this lovely part of Vermont.

The Cliff Trail is a challenging, exposed, exciting, and unique trail on the Mt. Mansfield ridge line. Although the trail itself is only 0.8 miles (one way), it is one of the most difficult and potentially dangerous hikes in the area; you are hiking largely on exposed rock faces, which are often wet and slippery. There are also moments when you need to cross over large gaps in the rocks, climb a wooden ladder, and most of the trail is exposed and is frequently windy. All this being said, however, this is a fantastic trail that offers a great challenge for hikers who might enjoy a more scramble-y way to traverse just below the iconic Mansfield ridge line.

The Sterling Gorge Falls is a series of short cascading falls in the Sterling Gorge; there are three falls, six cascade sets, and eight pools. Not all of them, however, are visible from the trail, especially in the summer when there are leaves on the trees. The fall is accessed via a short interpretive trail that has several signs about the history, geology of the gorge, and local stories about the area, making it a great outing for people of all ages. You can swim in the pools, which are accessed by picking up the trail across the bridge from the parking lot and following it to the middle set of falls where there is a large pool that is perfect for swimming. These waterfalls are beautiful and a fantastic place to cool off in the hot summer months. As an added bonus, they are far less crowded than other falls in the Stowe area.
