Mountain Top: Most of our guests lucky enough to stay at Mountain Top, the only full-service resort on our tour, don’t leave the property at all but enjoy hiking the onsite Nordic ski trail network (40 miles of meandering woodland and meadow paths) and other amenities like kayaking on the large lake (use of kayaks included with your stay), disc golf, tennis, and add-on services like clay bird shooting, a guided pontoon boat outing on the lake, and spa services.A swim at the beach picnic ground beckons on hot days, and there is an additional 3-mile loop footpath around the lake. You’ll hike up easily within the first mile, viewing a waterfall rated among the best in New England, then choose either or both of the loops from there: a rigorous 3-mile loop to a cliff overlooking a thousand-acre lake and the valley beyond and/or an easier ascent to a hidden mountain lake inaccessible to motorized traffic. Lilac Inn: Hands down, the best option is from a nearby trailhead that offers a figure-eight.Blueberry Hill: the onsite trail system offers any combination you wish of a most pleasant 3-mile loop around the base of a small mountain with a rewarding view a 4-mile loop around a water body home to a colony of loons or an off-site full-day 9-mile loop taking in the vista from a prominent summit after a stiff ascent.For the inns hosting the 2022 season, our recommendations for the “usual” top choice near each inn are as follows:
There are, however, trails that consistently are our hikers’ most-enjoyed. With all these in mind, you can make the best choice about the best trail for you on that particular day.
The “best trail for the day” concept means you should make your final choice of trail at breakfast the day you plan to hike that trail, considering your physical condition from yesterday’s hike, today’s weather forecast (which may well differ from the forecast on offer when you nodded off to sleep last night), news of trail work or ground conditions from your innkeeper, and your other goals for the day (perhaps visiting an interesting village or historic site).
