This region is known for its crystalline rivers, lush forests, and the quintessential New England charm embodied by its historic covered bridges. On this easy hiking tour, guests traverse gentle woodland trails, witness the cascading beauty of several waterfalls, and pause at iconic covered bridges whose wooden arches have stood for over a century, blending natural and cultural heritage seamlessly.
