We will be hosting a Mad River Glen community BBQ on Sunday July 5th from Noon until 6 PM.  Everyone is invited to attend. There will be great food, live music, outdoor fun and games and of course the famous Mad River Glen conviviality.   Summer is here and the mountain is greening up for sure. The wild flowers are blooming and the grass on the trails is starting to get wicked high. Check out some recent pics to see how the mountain looks these days. The views have been phenomenal of late. Everyone is welcome to come on up and enjoy the mountain in the off-season.  You can walk up from the bottom or access it via the Long Trail from the top of the Appalachian Gap. This time of year it is great to just walk up the "work road" from the base area. It leads hikers up the mountain on a relatively gentle climb past a gorgeous waterfall, the Birdcage Lodge, up to the Kent Thomas Nature Center, and then depending upon your mood you can go to the top of the Sunnyside Double, to Mid-Station on the Single or to the summit of Gen. Stark Mountain and the Stark's Nest.   There is so much to do here in the Mad River Valley  during the summer.  Hiking, swimming, biking, golf, tennis, and just plain old relaxing are the Valley's forte.  If you haven't spent time here during the warmer months we encourage you to come check it out for yourself.
