Mount Philo was a beutiful short hike in Vermont. It’s an easy stop off so if you’re looking for a short hike to stretch your legs while driving through Vermont, this is a perfect stop. I also recommend it for all the lead peepers as the area was absolutely gorgeous with all the fall colors.
The park also has a rustic, 1930’s lodge that can seat up to 60 people and has electricity, grills, tables, chairs, and a nearby restroom. The connected and covered pavilion has a working fireplace and refrigerator, and is included in the rental. The lodge costs $200/day to rent Monday – Friday and $300 Saturday or Sunday plus $8 reservation fee.
