We think one of the many highlights of taking a hike is coming across wildflowers along the path. If you appreciate wildflowers as much as I do, head to Quechee Gorge Dewey Pond Trail when you’re in Hartford, Vermont. Rated easy, this 2.8-mile in-and-out scenic adventure has an elevation change of just over 200 feet, making it an ideal destination for a family outing where you’re leashed dog is allowed to come too.

To get started on your lovely hike featuring wildflowers, head to Quechee State Park.

Since this is a picturesque trail that's a popular hike for birdwatching too, I recommend trying to visit during the week or off hours. Although the hike should only take about an hour, anticipate spending more time taking photos of the impressive views.
