Feb 8, 2024 · A gentle climb through a diverse forest leads hikers around a picturesque pond and up to Mount Tom’s South Peak with gorgeous views of Woodstock Village and the Green Mountains. It’s a short walk from the center of Woodstock Village to the network of trails within Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park.
We did two hikes here, one to the Pogue and the other to the summit of Mt Tom via Faulkner Park trails. The hike to the pogue was very easy and was easily traversed by our three little dogs. It’s a bit of an uphill walk but not hard if you’re in relatively good shape.

The Faulkner Trail at Mount Tom is a perfect family hike. It begins as a gentle gravel path and gradually progresses over about 1.5 miles of switchbacks to easy wooded terrain, steeper rocky slopes, and finally to a summit with steep drops to one side + guy wires to hold onto.

Relatively new to hikes in green terrain (I'm from Arizona), this hike in early Spring blew my mind. Great, well-kept trail was very low difficulty/intensity and afforded wonderful views (throughout and at the top) of the surrounding Woodstock town.
