The StoryWalk at Mount A

The StoryWalk® program combines the benefits of physical activity, time outdoors, and literacy by taking children’s books and posting them, in pieces, along a recreational path or hiking trail. Our story at Mount A is posted along the western side of Ring Trail. The featured story is generally seasonal in nature and is swapped-out quarterly.

Location: Access the Ring Trail from the main Base parking area on Mountain Road. Cross the access road to follow the western side of Ring, then Witch Hazel trail to finish at the summit. 

Difficulty/Distance: The trail is somewhat steep in places but comfortable at easy stroll pace with stops at the reading stations. Terrain varies from gentle slope on dirt trail to rocky sections with short climbs or descents. Distance is 1.3 miles. Allow 1 ½ hours for younger children. For good hikers just stopping to read, time can be reduced to about half an hour.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.

Currently on the Trail: Winter Sleep: A Hibernation Story by Sean Taylor and Alex Morrs with illustrations by Cinyee Chiu.
