At barely more than 2,100 feet, Barr Hill does not loom large in Vermont's montane landscape. But what it lacks in height it makes up for in the vistas it offers. At various points in the 0.8-mile trail that extends along the hill's sloping summit, visitors can spy Jay Peak to the north, New Hampshire's Mount Washington to the southeast and even Killington, some 75 miles to the south. The base of the trail starts right past our very own Wolf Cabin on Smith Road. In the Summer, the majority of the trail is shaded and cool with a few exceptions. In the Winter, folks enjoy strapping in to their snow shoes or micro spikes and heading out into the crisp mountain air. After a short but sweet hike up to Barr Hill, you can meander down to our House Bar for a Bee's Knees cocktail- made with the namesake Barr Hill Gin from Caledonia Spirits.
