It's apple-pickin' time Autumn in the northeast conjures up images of brilliant foliage framed against a gorgeous blue sky, and one of the most cherished traditions of this colorful season is a visit to a local apple orchard. Picking your own apples is a fun and relaxing activity for families, and virtually a rite of passage for young children. Fortunately, in the hills and valleys of this area, there are many orchards within a short drive to satisfy that yearning for the ripened fruit that is the culmination of the summer season.
VERMONT The Apple Barn & Country Bake Shop in Bennington is
open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Nov. 21, offering 16 varieties of apples. The store offers a fullline bake shop, complete with homemade pastries, cookies, pies, cakes, Vermont products, berries, and breakfast packages. Also check out their Fall Foliage, Taste of Vermont, Big Barn Vermont Experience and Box Lunch Bus Tours. It’s located at 604 U.S. Route 7 South. Check their web site at www.theapplebarn.com or call 802-447-7780. Further up the valley, between the Green and Taconic Mountains, is the Mad Tom Orchard at 2615 Mad Tom Rd. in East Dorset.
You can pick your own Macintosh and Cortland apples there, among the 14 varieties, while you enjoy the great views of surrounding mountains. The picking runs from about early-September through mid-October and the orchard is open daily, except Monday, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information call 802-3668107 or visit madtomorchard.com.
Mendon Mountain Orchards is a historic 26-acre orchard at 1894 U.S. Route 4 in Rutland. Besides apples, the orchard is home to a farm store, gift shop, bakery, fresh
pressed cider and motel. Picking normally begins in early September and runs through Columbus Day weekend.

Continuing north is the Outback Orchard located at 1890 West Creek Road in Florence and offering 11 varieties of apples.

There's lots of hiking to enjoy Rolling hills, staggering mountains, breath-taking views – this region has it all. Few places in the eastern half of the U.S. offer better scenery than upstate New York and western Vermont. The Green Mountains and Adirondack Mountains loom large and challenging for hikers, while rolling
foothills offer intermediate trails and there are flatter trails for those who are just beginning, or not fully in hiking shape. On clear days, some of the hikes allow climbers to see for miles and miles. Some may even be lucky enough to see the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Here are

Hiking Continued from page 23 seven miles you’ll reach Poultney, near the Vermont/ New York border. The trail ends shortly thereafter. The southern section of the trail begins in Granville and continues south before crossing back into Vermont. After passing through the town of West Pawlet, the trail opens up a bit, offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. After passing a parking area outside the hamlet of West
Rupert, the trail continues a half-mile before reaching its southern terminus. The surface is not paved but consists of firm stones and is perfect for bicycles, strollers and pedestrians. Getting there: Access to the northern portion of the trail can be found off Seminary Street in Castleton or Bentley Street in Poultney. The southern portion of the trail can be accessed
south of the village of Granville on Route 22, a quarter mile from Andrews Lane. Walkers can also park near the Slate Valley Museum off Water Street or in public parking off Main Street in Granville for direct access to the trail.
Feeder Canal Heritage Trail/Warren County Bikeway Washington/Warren County This walk, run and bike nine-mile trail starts in Fort
Edward, passes through downtown Glens Falls and continues through Queensbury to Lake George village. Most of the Feeder Canal trail is crushed stone, while the majority of the Warren County bikeway is paved and suitable for a variety of non-motorized recreational pursuits. Much of the trail has been laid out to avoid steep hills and therefore is suitable for people of all ages, but plan on enough time to overcome small bumps.

Hiking Continued from page 25 which can be combined for an interesting loop trip. After parking at the trailhead on Pike Brook Road, the trail follows an old logging road for a mile to its first junction. The route to the right is the most direct to the summit, but the trail to Lapland Pond on the left offers a more attractive hike. Lapland Pond and its lean-to are about one mile
in, and another mile in is Round Pond, and a short distance away, Black Mountain Pond, which also features a leanto. After leaving the pond, the trail reaches the junction with the route coming from the lake. From here, the trail climbs a series of switchbacks for the next mile until it reaches the summit. The total distance of the
loop is 6.7 miles, although the hike can be done in 5 miles by taking the more direct route. Getting there: Travel north through Whitehall on Route 22 for about 4.5 miles and look for a sign to Huletts Landing on the left (county Route 6). Drive for 2.7 miles and turn left on Pike Brook Road. At .8 miles look for a large parking lot.
Buck Mountain Fort Ann A slightly longer hike than its Fort Ann sister peaks, Buck Mountain is also located on the east side of Lake George. The open, rocky summit boasts an almost 360-degree view of the lake, the Sagamore Resort, the Tongue Mountain Range, Shelving Rock Mountain, Sleeping Beauty and Black Mountain and the village of Lake George to the south. There are two routes to the summit: one from Pilot

Knob and one from Hogtown in Fort Ann. Most hikers choose to hike from a trailhead at the end of Pilot Knob Road. This route is 3.3 miles and features a 2,000foot vertical ascent, with a number of waterfalls and views. While the trail from Buck Mountain is shorter and involves less climbing (2.3 miles, 1,130 feet), it offers fewer views on the way up. Getting there: Pilot Knob Trailhead: Take Route 149 to and turn left on Route 9L, going just shy of 5 miles, then turn right at the sign for Kattskill Bay and Pilot Knob. The parking lot is 3.5 miles on the right-hand side. Hogtown Trailhead: Traveling on Route 149, turn onto Buttermilk Falls Road. At 3.2 miles it becomes Sly Pond Road. At the intersection with Hogtown Road continue straight ahead onto Shelving Rock Road. The parking area is just past the parking area for the Lake George Trails System on the left-hand side. There is a trailhead sign for Buck Mountain.
Shelving Rock Falls Fort Ann This trail features an easy hike to a beautiful 50-foot waterfall. The appearance of the falls changes with the season and the weather. The brook leading to the falls features some cascades and smaller falls. Hikers can also follow the brook to Log Bay on the eastern shore of Lake George, and nearby Shelving Rock Mountain offers some limited views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The trail to the falls
features some hills, but it follows an old carriage road and is not very steep. And at 1.7 miles (one-way), it makes a good hike for families. The trail leads to the top of the falls and there is a trail to its base. Hikers should use caution around the falls. Footing can be slick and there have been a number of serious injuries there in recent years. Getting there: Follow the directions to Buck Mountain. Once you reach the parking area for the Lake George Trails System, continue down the road for 2.8 miles until you reach an orange-painted steel gate that guards a culvert and small bridge. The trail starts here and there is a parking area just beyond this point on the left.
Sleeping Beauty Fort Ann A moderate day-hike, Sleeping Beauty is a popular mountain within easy distance of both Washington and Warren counties. A steady, reasonable climb that takes an hour to an hour-and-half to summit finishes with open views in almost every direction. To the west is Lake George and many Adirondack peaks, to the east is Pico and Killington, and other Vermont mountains. Access to the trailhead, known as Dacy
Clearing in the Hogtown area of Fort Ann, is sometimes closed. This adds an additional 3.2-mile (roundtrip) fairly flat walk from the parking lot. If it is open, hikers can drive to the start of the 1.8-mile trail. Those looking for more adventure can continue over the summit to Bumps Pond and Fishbrook Pond, where they might encounter secluded fishermen. Getting there: Traveling on Route 149, turn on to Buttermilk Falls Road, which at 3.2 miles becomes Sly Pond Road. At the intersection with Hogtown Road continue straight ahead onto Shelving Rock Road. You’ll see a parking area for the Lake George Trails System, and the road to Dacy Clearing is located just beyond a gate at the end of the parking area.
Pilot Knob Preserve Fort Ann Smaller than its neighbors on Lake George’s east side, this hike offers equally rewarding views for less work. A family could hike up in 30 to 45 minutes. Views from the top include nearby mountains, the distant Adirondacks and much of the length of Lake George. A gazebo sits atop the small peak, providing a perfect shaded spot for a picnic or a rest. There are several marked routes, so the trail can be hiked up
and down or as a semicircuit. Getting there: Traveling on Route 149, turn on Ridge Road or Route 9L north for about 4.7 miles, bear right onto Pilot Knob Road and continue for .7 miles to a small parking area on the right.
Prospect Mountain Lake George A peak with an interesting history, Prospect Mountain is a good bet for extensive, panoramic views of the Lake George region. On a clear day, hikers can see 100 miles to the east from the top. Although this hike is just short of three miles in length it climbs at a moderate to steep grade for nearly two miles and can be taxing for people not in good physical condition. The trail follows on an old roadbed of a funicular railway that served a once-thriving summer hotel on the mountain, and historical markers at the top explain this in detail. Those with a fear of bridges should avoid this hike, as a trek across a metal bridge over the Northway is necessary to reach the trailhead. Getting there: Heading north on Lake George’s main road, Canada Street, take a left onto Montcalm Street and follow hiking trail signs to the end of Smith Street.

Manchester Newspapers • 2018 Fall Guide • 27
Hiking Continued from page 27 summits make up this range, which rises more than 2,000 feet above the western shore of Lake George. The range includes First Peak, French Point Peak, Fifth Peak, Five Mile Mountain and Brown Mountain, and derives its name from its appearance – it forms a peninsula that juts out into Lake George like a tongue. More than 18 miles of trails are accessible from Clay Meadows and
another more northerly trailhead located off Route 9. The diversity of trails allows hikers to split the range into a number of day hikes or make one long overnight trip. The most popular hike in the range is Fifth Peak, which offers nice views and only a 2.5 mile walk from the Clay Meadows parking lot. A popular but much longer and more rugged trip (about 12 miles) is to ascend Fifth
Peak from Clay Meadows and continue south to French Point, then First Peak, before dropping to Montcalm Point on the shore of Lake George. From here one can follow a trail north along the lake to the trailhead. Caution: It should be noted that the Tongue Mountain Range is one of the only places in the Northeast that is home to the timber rattlesnake.
These snakes blend in well with the undergrowth of the forest and sometimes will sun themselves on trails. Although the snakes are not aggressive, hikers should use extra care when scrambling up rocks or stepping over downed trees and large rocks. Getting there: Take the Adirondack Northway (I-87) to Exit 24 and head east on Valley Wood Road toward Bolton Landing. After about five miles, turn left at a T-intersection with State Route 9N. The southern Clay Meadows trailhead is about 4.5 miles north of the

Hadley Mountain Hadley Boasting beautiful views of the southern Adirondacks, this moderately gentle 3.4-mile trail is perfect for the novice hiker or a family. An elevation gain of 1,600 feet leads hikers to a restored fire tower on its summit,
and wide outlooks in several directions. Because the round trip is only four miles, this hike does not take too much time and provides a perfect opportunity for a picnic. The lower part of the trail switches back and forth across a stream, before climbing a hill and proceeding along switchbacks up the ridge line. Getting there: The trailhead is reached by finding your way to Lake Luzerne (Route 9N), then crossing the Hudson River
to the village of Hadley. Turn north onto Saratoga Route 1 for about 3 miles to Hadley Hill Road, turn left and go uphill for 4.6 miles to Tower Road (small sign on the left), which leads to a parking area and the trailhead.
Cat and Thomas Mountains Bolton These mountains are located on a 1,909-acre preserve owned by the Adirondack Forest Preserve and rise nearly 2,000 feet, offering views of Lake George and the surrounding countryside.
The trail to Cat Mountain is 6.5 miles long (round trip) on a woods road that offers good footing. The trail coincides with the Thomas Mountain trail for threequarters of a mile before diverging to the left onto a yellow-marked trail. After passing through a gate, the trail follows a stream and then begins to climb at a moderate pace before a couple of flat spots near the summit. The trail to Thomas Mountain follows an old logging road with good

Valley Woods Road is about 2 miles from the exit.
Champlain Canalway Trail Schuylerville A nice walk along the canal, the Schuylerville portion of the 71-mile Champlain Canalway trail runs near Schuyler House, past Lock 5 and loops around the island in the beautiful Hudson Crossing Park. This multi-use trail has become popular in the area, offering great views of the Champlain Canal, Schuylerville and looking east into Washington County. The trail runs about 1.5 miles and offers a great chance to learn about some of the area’s rich history.
Getting there: The trailhead starts from near Lock 5 of Champlain Canal, just north of Schuylerville on Route 4.
Moreau Lake State Park Moreau Moreau Lake State Park offers a wide variety of hiking trails, from beginners’ trails, like the Turkey Path, to more difficult trails, like the Ridge Run. The trails wind around the beautifully scenic Moreau Lake and some make their way up the hills and ridges of the area. Some supply great views looking east at Washington
County and Vermont, while other lookouts have views to the northwest, looking at the Hudson River and the town of Corinth. A full map of all the trails in the Moreau Lake State Park can be found at this link: http:// nysparks.com/parks/ attachments/ MoreauLakeTrailMap.pdf. Getting there: Take exit 17N off of I-87 toward South Glens Falls. At the red light, take a left onto Spier Falls Road. There are a few parking areas for the trailheads on the left side of the road as you head up the mountain toward Corinth.

Saratoga National Historical Park Stillwater With 10 different historical destinations, this park is perfect for the history buff who likes to stay active. Located between Schuylerville and Stillwater, there is plenty of scenery around, including the Hudson River and the old Champlain Canal. In addition to the 10 historical destinations, there are several monuments, picnic areas and restrooms scattered along the trail. The trail includes several revolutionary-era farms, a
British hospital, Gen. Burgoyne’s headquarters and American river fortifications, among other historical landmarks. A map of the trails through the park can be found here: https://www.nps. gov/sara/planyourvisit/ maps.htm. Getting there: There are several ways to get to the park, one approach is to take exit 12 of I-87 and take Route 423 until its
intersection with Route 32. After turning onto 32, the park can be seen on your right side.
VERMONT Haystack Pawlet Haystack Mountain offers some of the finest panoramic views in southern Vermont. Starting off with agrarian landscapes, the hike enters the forest and eventually comes out onto a view-filled top. It takes about an hour-
and-a-half to reach the summit. The trail rolls up and down, climbing at a slight grade through soft and hardwood forest for the first two-thirds of the hike before climbing steeply to the summit where hikers are greeted by 270 degrees of unobstructed views of Granville and the Slate Valley. Getting there: The trail to the summit is off Tunket Road in Pawlet. Heading south from Granville, N.Y., toward Pawlet, turn left onto Waite Road (about 1.7

Little Rocky Pond Danby This 5.8-mile roundtrip hike is a relatively flat twomile walk through hardwood forest to a
beautiful pond surrounded by large boulders. It is very popular for swimming, camping and fishing. The hike features only 350 feet of elevation change, making it nice for families. At the northern end of the pond, the Green Mountain Trail offers the option to extend the hike to a 7.5-mile hike. The trail is located on a section of the Appalachian/ Long Trail and is marked by white blazes. Getting there: From Route
7 in Danby, turn east onto Brooklyn Road (Forest Road 10) for about 3.5 miles to the Appalachian/Long Trail crossing. Parking is on the south side of the road.
Deane Nature Preserve Poultney The Lewis Deane Nature Preserve in Poultney is on 85 acres owned by Green Mountain College. Hiking trails provide access to beautiful views from an easy to moderate hike up St.
Catherine Mountain, which tops out at 1,214 feet. With the Green Mountains behind them, hikers can see Lake St. Catherine below and the Adirondack Mountains in the distance. Two trails lead to the top: The more family friendly Yellow Trail is the longer of the pair but has a gentler, safer incline. Look out for an important left, uphill turn by a tree with three yellow ties around it. The trail after this spot is windy and lessworn, but hikers are asked not to bushwhack so as to not disturb vegetation. The Yellow Trail should take 45

minutes to an hour each way. The blue trail is much shorter, but also much steeper. Use caution on this trail as the ground can be uneven and loose. Hike through an open field to get to the trailhead and follow the Blue trail the rest of the way.

Once on Running Brook Road, continue until the parking area just before the intersection with Dayton Hill Road.
White Rocks Cliffs Wallingford Cliffs, waterfalls, streams and mountain views of the Taconics, the Adirondacks and the valley below – White Rocks Cliffs offers it all. The area is defined by the Cheshire quartzite that was exposed during the last Ice Age and gives the cliffs their white appearance. Among the trails in the area are the popular and scenic Cliffs Trail and the Ice Beds Trail,
which leads to the large pile of white rocks at the base of the cliff. Both trails start from a parking lot at the Green Mountains National ForestWhite Rocks Picnic area. The Cliffs Trail is 3.2 miles round trip but it rises 1,250 feet so it is a fairly strenuous hike. The first part winds around the northeastern edge of the cliffs before reaching the Appalachian/Long Trail junction, then south,
following the white blazes past the Greenwall Shelter Spur trail at one mile. Continue south for .4 miles to reach the spur that leads to the cliffs and several beautiful vistas. The Ice Beds trail is 1.8 miles (180 feet of elevation gain) to a pile of massive rocks that protects ice well into the summer. The trail, easy enough for children, leaves the southwest corner of the parking lot and climbs several switchbacks until it meets an old woods road at about .4 miles,

Stratton Mountain Arlington Hikers can see three states from the 70-foot fire tower atop Stratton Mountain, the highest peak in Southern Vermont. The 360-degree views at the top of this 3,940-foot peak include the Green
Mountains, the Taconic Mountains and more. A caretaker is stationed at the summit during the summer and fall. This is a 7.6-mile round-trip hike featuring 1,730 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderate to difficult trek. The trail follows the Appalachian/ Long Trail, marked with white blazes, to the summit. The trail is gradual at first, passing through a mixed hard/soft wood forest. About a mile and half into the hike, the trail begins to climb steeply, before flattening out for awhile along the ridgeline. After this point, it begins to climb switchbacks before reaching the summit. From Route 7 in Arlington, turn west onto Route 313. Take a right onto South Road and follow to the end, turn right onto Kansas Road and follow over Route 7 and over a twolane bridge. Turn right onto Kelley Stand Road for about
9.6 miles. The parking area is on the north side of the road.
Stratton Pond Arlington This trail leads to beautiful Stratton Pond, the largest body of water on the Long Trail and the most heavily used camping site located on the Appalachian Trail in Vermont. The pond features several designated campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis ($5 fee). The trail is 7.8 miles long (round trip), but climbs only 390 feet, making it a relatively easy hike that takes five to six hours on average. The trail ascends gradually through mixed hard/soft wood forest. At 3.8 miles the trail turns onto a logging road and the Appalachian/Long Trail is reached soon after, leading to the pond. Getting there: From Route 7 in Arlington, turn west on
Route 313 at the end of the exit ramp and take a right onto South Road and follow to the end. Turn right onto Kansas Road and cross Route 7 and a two-lane bridge. Turn right and travel Kelley Stand Road for about 8.7 miles. Parking will be on the left.

On a clear day, it’s possible to see the Adirondacks in New York and Mount Washington in New Hampshire. This popular, 6-mile roundtrip trail takes four to five hours to complete. Identified by white trail blazes, this route follows the Appalachian Trail from a parking lot a few miles below the ski resort. The trail begins at the east end of the parking lot and follows Bromley Brook for the first mile, becoming

An observation deck on the summit was deemed structurally deficient and has been removed. Getting there: From Route 7 in Manchester, take Route 11/30 east for about five miles to the Appalachian/ Long Trail crossing just below where Routes 11 and 30 diverge.
Lye Brook Falls Manchester A simple trail that leads to one of Vermont’s highest waterfalls, the 100-plus-foot Lye Brook Falls, this hike is 2.3 miles each way and gains less than 800 feet. A century ago the route was
home to a number of charcoal kilns and sawmills that can still be seen through keen eyes. The trail follows Lye Brook on old logging roads, traveling at a steady grade. At 1.8 miles, a spur trail leads a halfmile to the falls. Moose have been known to frequent the area, so wildlife enthusiasts can keep a camera at the ready for both the falls and the animals. Caution: Rocks dot the trail and can be slippery at times, especially those near the falls. Getting there: From Route 7 in Manchester, travel about a quarter mile

Marked with blue blazes, the trail follows the old Rootville Road up the Downer Glen Ravine. After entering the forest, the trail gets steeper and crosses a small brook several times, then meets the Appalachian/Long Trail at 1.7 miles. A spur leads 200 feet west to the summit. Getting there: From Route 7 in Manchester, travel about a quarter mile east on Route 11/30 to East Manchester Road, turn right then immediately left onto Rootville Road for about a mile.

From the parking lot on Route 4, follow the Sherburne Pass trail north to the junction with the Appalachian Trail. From here take the Appalachian Trail south until you reach the Deer Leap Trail which climbs quickly to a ridge and another trail junction just short of a mile from Route 4. The trail to the left travels a quarter mile to Deer Leap overlook. Return to the Deer Leap Trail and
go north at the junction and climb over Big Deer Leap Mountain at which point the trail descends to the Appalachian Trail. Turn right and follow the trail back to its junction with the Sherburne Pass Trail and the parking lot on Route 4. Getting there: From Rutland, travel east on Route 4. Trailhead parking is across the street from the Inn at the Long Trail at 9.3 miles.
The Great Cliff and Mount Horrid Brandon These trails offer excellent views and the opportunity to see nesting peregrine falcons and other wildlife. The gain is a little more than 600 feet and is 1.4 miles roundtrip, but several steep sections make it more difficult than the distance suggests. From Brandon Gap, follow the Long Trail north for .7 miles to a blue-blazed spur trail that leads to the top of Great Cliff. The trails are sometimes closed during
the summer to protect nesting falcons so look for signs. Mount Horrid Overlook offers a view of a beaver pond and other wildlife. Getting there: From Brandon, take Route 73 east for 7.5 miles. Trailhead parking is on the right, just before the top of Brandon Gap. Please secure valuables as this parking lot experiences vandalism. The trail starts on the north side of Route 73. Mt. Horrid Overlook parking is at 7.6 miles.
