Editorial Review for Killington – by Citysearch Editors
Overview
The region's mountains--including Killington itself, the granddaddy with a summit of 4,241 feet--are some of the highest in New England. This is a recreational paradise for outdoorsy folks. Ski downhill on one of the largest ski areas in the world (95 miles of trails) or cross-country in the lower elevations. Hike the Appalachian and Long trails. Tee off on one of the 12 golf courses or go for a daring ride on a mountain bike.
The Experience
It's heaven for leaf-peeping every fall when flatlanders invade to gawk at mountainsides and rolling hills ablaze with color. But in the midst of all this natural beauty, of course, "civilization" has managed to stake out some space and set up camp--tacky shops to entice leaf-peepers and skiers.

Killington & the surrounding towns are absolutely georgous during foliage. Drive Rt4 east from Killington to Woodstock and you enter a town out of a Norman Rockwell painting, the shops and resturants are superb, or park and picnic in the town green, and later retrun to Killington and travel the winding Rt. 100 north just a few miles for picturesque trails and numerous fishing ponds. Many quaint country stores to find antiques, gifts, and maple candy, and award winning cheddars.
Pros: beauty
Cons: slow moving traffic
