At A Glance

A great family-friendly trail with gently rolling hills and great views.

At nearly 3 miles in length, the Tree Farm Trail represents one of the CVNP’s easier hikes and includes the picturesque Horseshoe Pond—home to a fair amount of non-deciduous greenery, namely pine and spruce. The space earned its nickname from a former iteration as an evergreen tree farm. In the winter, this trail rocks. You’ll need an hour-plus to do the ski-trail justice (you can be aerobic about it, but we’re betting on a couple stops along the way just to soak up the view). Visit once, and you’re likely to want to beat the locals out of bed to get there as early as possible. Great sunrises here.
