Fun hike! Beautiful trail! The trail is well marked. We didn’t go to the final climb because it looked to treacherous to make without walking sticks.

We tackled Mt Tom shortly after the recent snowfall - challenging but fun hike. Can't wait to try it again in the spring.

My wife and I hiked Mount Tom yesterday under a canopy of hemlocks and sugar maples. Beautiful forest and met two nice couples along the trail. Trails were well marked.

Love the trials and always take my boys for a long hike up to the lake. Be careful not to take a wrong turn like I did. I ended up getting lost and was on the other side of the mountain.

Trails are beautifully maintained and the trees and views are lovely. Benches on route, zig zag through a wide range of trees and plants and arrive at an outstanding view.

Took the trail from Faulkner Park. Easy grade with lots of switchbacks. Couldn't walk on the groomed trail to the lake after reaching the summit but still worth the hike.

I'm not sure how one rates Nature but as far as hikes go this was a lovely one. Its an easy hike because it is all switchbacks so you never feel like you are walking straight up. There is a stop at the top where you can sit and enjoy the view and then a steeper climb to the very top for the more adventurous. We were content with the first peak as we brought tea and biscuits and just enjoyed the view . we are not really "hikers" so we didn't feel the need to prove anything to anyone.

A good exercise walk. Don’t stop when you think you are at the top. There is a wire railing, look for it. A steep incline, but worth the effort for a better view.

My wife and I hiked up Mt. Tom on a beautiful day in late September. The colors were gorgeous, The trails were easy and well marked observing forest, meadows and a pond. The views from the top are amazing and worth the hike.

Can walk to base from center of Woodstock. Faulkner Trail is full of switchbacks so it makes for an easy hike up. Last 100 or 200 feet are much more rocky and inclined, so need to make use of the metal roping installed there, but I am not a big hiker and did it with no problem. Worth the view when you get past that. We went at a somewhat leisurely pace, took two hours round trip.

Do we need hiking boots for Mount Tom or are tennis shoes ok?

Hi
So long as it isn’t wet weather, you would easily manage in tennis shoes / trainers. Path is well marked, you do have to watch your footing for tree roots and similar but that’s about it.

So, from what I've read, it looks like we cannot drive to the top of Mt. Tom for the view? It is only accessible by hiking.

It is an easy hike from the parking lot off Prosper Road. Not too much elevation and what there is is gradual. The view is worth it!

Would this trail be safe to do wearing a baby in a front carrier? Thanks!

It's doable on one of the trails, but not all of them. I can't recall the name of the trail we ascended on, it was much safer than the one we descended on.

Hello Gate83....we are in our 70's and in good shape but not avid hikers. Do you think we can walk to the top without much trouble next week. Also, where in town did you begin?

Good morning! You drive over the old covered bridge almost across the street from the Woodstock Inn. You will see it when you enter the village green on the right side of the street. Travel through the bridge and go straight across until you are on the dirt road. Follow the short road. You are in the quaint neighbor hood. The park is on the right. You will see cars parked on the street. Park your auto and begin your trek by following the sign or path! I hope the leave begin to turn for you. Enjoy your beautiful hick.

I'm not sure either,but we stayed at the Woodstock Inn, right on the green in town, and the trail head we took was in the park right there. Then we came down the other side and walked back to the hotel from the other direction. Not sure where your Inn is located...but it was all fairly simple and close - lovely.
