Appalachian Trail Adventures — Hotel in Killington

We thought of going to a state that we've never visited before and Vermont was one of them.

We were also lucky to have met a nice group of people gather together to have a good time in the outdoors. I certainly will miss all of them and Vermont and also John's sweetest little beagle Aeolus! If you plan your trip with ATA, you will certainly not be disappointed. If I get a chance to come back again, I most...
