Many people say that everyone should see the Grand Canyon at least once in their lives, and lucky for us, Vermont has a smaller version that should also be seen. Conveniently, it’s much closer. The beautiful Quechee Gorge is known as Vermont’s Little Grand Canyon and this spectacular sight has the awe factor while being easily seen from the bridge above and can be hiked down to the bottom in about an hour. Let’s take a closer look!
Vermont’s deepest cavern certainly is a long way down.
