The Rattlesnake Cliffs Trail to the Aunt Jenny Trail is a scenic hike in Green Mountain National Forest with gorgeous views of Lake Dunmore.

Just outside of Salisbury, Vermont, this hike is a gorgeous 4 mile loop that is dog and kid friendly. After going past a rushing waterfall, you'll reach Rattlesnake Vista. The view from Rattlesnake Vista is incredible, with lots of room to spread out and have a picnic lunch. Watch for Peregrine Falcons in the summer!

This hike begins on the Rattlesnake Cliffs trail and loops into the Aunt Jenny Trail.
