Vermont S Niagara Falls Is Too Beautiful For Words

Vermont is lousy with stunning waterfall and cascades, but there’s one in particular that stands out as among the state’s most dramatic. Moss Glen Falls is a well-known waterfall that deserves every bit of its renown. In fact, you might even want to call it Vermont’s very own Niagara Falls. Here’s how to visit this awesome spot.

Getting to the waterfall requires only 2.1 miles of hiking through easy terrain, so older kids and leashed dogs should be able to handle the journey.

The water can get pretty chilly, even in the summer, so it’s the perfect place to refresh yourself on a hot day.

If you intend to explore the area right around the falls, be sure to wear shoes with adequate grip. The rocks can get slippery!
