Other Activities - HIKING

Vermont Adaptive aims at providing opportunities for people with physical, mental, and development disabilities to learn the skills, safety procedures, and joys of outdoor recreation. In addition to basic instruction, we offer our students training on how to become independent enthusiasts and possibly instructors themselves.

Exploring off the beaten path in Vermont provides a great opportunity to discover its quiet wooded paths, hidden ponds, and magnificent vistas. Our hikes are designed to be interesting and invigorating without being overly challenging. Though truly wheelchair accessible trails are few and far between, our hiking staff is adept at finding great out of the way places to start your explorations. They are full of creative ideas and ready and willing to try to adapt anything to make your hiking experience all you’ve envisioned and more.

From the casual strolling hiker who enjoys winding dirt roads or wide easy paths to the thrill seeker always searching for the exhilaration of craggy mountain peaks and narrow, rocky trails, Vermont has something to offer everyone. With more than 700 hundred miles of trails throughout the state, hundreds of miles of back roads and country lanes, there is plenty of terrain to satisfy every type of hiker.

Hiking is $15.00 per person per outing (2 hours).
