OM&M in the Green Mountain State

Haystack Mountain Shirts

Of Moose & Mountain gear is now available in Vermont!

As of September 19, 2015, three versions of the new Mountain Elevation series shirts are available at The Hub in West Dover, Vermont. Located in the Deerfield Valley in southern Vermont, The Hub is practically at the foot of Mount Snow and Haystack Mountains with Stratton Mountain just a short ride up Route 100. Shirts featuring these three mountains along with their elevations and map coordinates are available.

This is the first time OM&M gear has been available in Vermont but, hopefully, it won’t be the last.

Adventure of the Week – Hike the Stowe Pinnacle Trail

The Stowe, Vermont, area is another place we try to get to a couple times a year. There are adventures to be had in every season. In the summer and fall, the Stowe Pinnacle Trail offers some great views of the Green Mountains including Camel’s Hump, Mt. Mansfield, and the village. This is a short but tough trail taking a couple hours to get up and back down the 2.8 mile trail. When you are huffing and puffing just know you have some incredible views waiting for you at the top. If you like covered bridges, be sure to check out the Gold Brook Covered Bridge just off Stowe Hollow Road on (what else) Covered Bridge Road after your hike.

Adventure of the Week: Green Mountain Adventure Challenge

I’m starting a new weekly series of posts suggesting adventures throughout New England (and occasionally beyond). Adventures may range from pleasant strolls to challenging bike rides and hikes. Every adventure I’ll suggest is one I have done myself – often with my wife, other relatives, and/or friends.

First up – the Green Mountain Adventure Challenge in West Dover, Vermont. This is the third year of the challenge and the second year my wife and I participated. We look forward to many more. Last year’s was a lot like the Nicholas Cage movie “National Treasure” – one clue lead to another clue which lead to another clue each requiring hikes or other travel around the West Dover area. This year’s challenge was a little different but still a lot of fun. A portion of the registration fee goes to cancer care and research. And it’s a great way to see some of the lesser known parts of the area and challenge your body and your brain. There’s still time to participate in the 2014 Challenge through Labor Day weekend. Many teams have completed the challenge in roughly two days.
