“Hiking is not escapism; it’s realism. The people who choose to spend time outdoors are not running away from anything; we are returning to where we belong.”
Wintergreen Trail Quest: A Week of Exploration & Discovery
Join us for a week-long adventure at Wintergreen Studios, where you can explore our breathtaking trails at your own pace—or with a guide! With 10 scenic trails winding through meadows, forests, granite outcrops, wetlands, ponds, and lakes, every step brings a new discovery.

Bring anything you deem necessary to spend some time out on the land, which may include hiking shoes/boots, layered clothing, hat, insect repellent, water, and snacks.
