What to Do in Your Mother’s Day GetAway in Killington
There is a variety of awesome things to do in Killington, VT.
Spring is an absolutely stunning time of year to visit the biggest outdoor playground on the east coast. The area surrounding the town of Killington is known as the Green Mountains of central Vermont. Famous for its two downhill ski resorts, Killington and Pico Mountain, people travel year-round to explore the outdoor wilderness areas and experience the small-town charm of this romantic getaway. The beautiful May days that surround Mother’s Day are often in full bloom with budding trees and emerging wildflowers, which is truly a sight to behold.
This time of year, guests love exploring the adorable shops and boutiques in downtown Killington. With moderate temperatures to warm you on your way and smaller crowds to contend with this time year, check out the recreational outfitters, local artists, and specialty coffee shops. Something else mom might love is a pampering session at the local spa. Another great spot to check out is the Sherburne Memorial Library, which hosts multiple community events throughout the year ranging from movie nights, yoga, and of course holiday events.
As the snow melts atop the mountains, there are miles of trails to explore depending on your activity level. Hiking, mountain biking, and even horseback riding are all popular forms of entertainment. Make a day of it with a packed picnic or opt instead for an easier trail for a quiet walk together. Thundering Brook Falls, an incredibly easy and handicap accessible trail that leads you to the sixth largest waterfall in Vermont, is gorgeous this time of year when water levels are at their highest.
Another popular destination is west of Killington, where you can wander through the old-growth hardwood trees of Vermont. Giffords State Park is home to magnificent sugar maples and beeches which will most certainly be rustling with new leaves this time of year.

Perhaps a mixed green salad booming with nature’s candy is in order? Make a charcuterie and cheese board, complete with authentic Vermont cheese and paired with a local bottle of wine?
