Thundering Brook Falls Trail — Attraction in Killington

I was looking for a short and easy hike with views and this place popped up after searching the internet. There's a dirt road that leads to the parking area for this trail. The parking lot was packed when we went but some people were parking on the side of the road. There's a sign at the beginning of the trail which is a boardwalk. The boardwalk was nicely maintained and easy to walk on. The whole trail is 0.5 miles and it's out and back.

Once we got to the dirt trail, there were a couple of other trail entrances which connects to the larger Appalachian Trail; we decided to head to the waterfall. There was a viewing platform and the waterfall was majestic! We climbed up to near the top of the waterfall and it was steep but worth it.

It's a walking stroll. Now you cross the road and go up that mountain now get your winded, I know...

Nice, short, easy, in/out trail (partial boardwark with a viewing area) with the option to scramble/climb to the top of the falls. Intersects the Appalachian Trail. First part of the trail, the boardwalk travels through a dense scrub, the variety of plants was amazing. Was there 1st weekend of August, lots of blooms of different types. Last part of the trail to view the falls is somewhat uphill. Good view of the falls, was running well. Didn't go to the top, but some in my party did and said it was good. Have to go down an unpaved, but easy, road to get to the trailhead. Any car will do fine. Park on road. My time was limited, so this trail was a...
