The Mad River Valley and The Pitcher Inn

A few energizing September days vacationing in Vermont’s Mad River Valley were sufficient to convince us why the rural character of this beautiful corner of the earth is a source of pride as well as a romantic inspiration for its many visitors. No wonder the area attracts a loyal legion of outdoor buffs who not only enjoy super skiing, hiking, fishing and golfing, but also the best that nature has to offer.

Meandering around the towns and back-roads of Warren, Fayston, Granville, and Waitsfield, we experienced a number of the most dazzling scenic contrasts between farm and village, woods and fields, hilltops and river bottom. One minute we were navigating on a paved country road, the next on a narrow winding gravel road through the heart of the mountains, where we uncovered the area’s fascinating and alluring historic and scenic resources. There was always a revelation around the next bend in the road as the countryside was frequently shifting from lush forests, wide-open valleys, trout-filled streams and grassy meadows, to the photogenic views of the heady heights of the Green Mountains.

Suggested Must See Valley Views

  • Lincoln Gap
  • Bragg Hill
  • Roxbury Gap
  • Fuller Hill Road
  • Camel’s Hump
  • East Warren Road
  • Waitsfield Common Road

As there was no pressure to hurry, we were able to have a closer glance at the landscape that provided us with a window into the area’s history dating back to the 19th century. The maple trees lining the roads reminded us of the ever- popular maple sugaring that is still very much alive today. Covered bridges, which are still in use today as the Warren’s Lincoln Gap Covered Bridge, are reminders of the area’s 19th century transportation systems; the many barns reflect the agricultural character of the valley and some of these structures date back before the Civil War.

It is these historic and picturesque resources that enhance the Valley’s character and quality of life that craft that special ambiance creating a perfect romantic getaway.
