This is part of the state park. Drive your car almost to the top, and then hike to the top. Real climbers can access the summit from the other side of the mountain for a real workout. More

Check out the Wethersfield Trail - a moderate hike will get you to two lovely waterfalls and some very nice views of the valley. More

The views from atop Mt. Ascutney are fabulous. If you like, you can hike up from the bottom or you can drive up most of the way on the auto road. There are several spots to pull over and eat a picnic on the auto road. Don't forget to visit Brownsville Rock: you may see hang gliders launching. More
