As the snow melts, the rain stops, and the Green Mountains come alive again, there’s no better time to get outside and experience the beauty of spring in Vermont. At Five Seasons Cannabis Co., we believe that nature and cannabis are a perfect pair, especially when both are enjoyed responsibly and with intention. 

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking for a peaceful stroll, White River Junction is surrounded by trails that offer fresh air, stunning views, and a great excuse to pack a pre-roll or edible in your daypack.

Here are a few favorite hikes near White River Junction—plus curated cannabis pairings to match the vibe of each trail.

1. Quechee Gorge Trail – Light & Scenic

Known as “Vermont’s Little Grand Canyon,” Quechee Gorge is a must-visit. This short, easy trail (about 1.4 miles round trip) gives you a stunning view of the gorge and Ottauquechee River. It’s ideal for a mellow morning or afternoon hike.

Cannabis pairing: Low-dose sativa edible or a CBD-dominant vape

We recommend a citrusy, uplifting edible to keep your steps light and your mind clear. Great for first-timers or anyone who wants to enhance the view without going too deep.

2. Hurricane Hill via the Appalachian Trail – Energetic & Uplifting

Want a bit more elevation and a true Appalachian Trail experience? Hurricane Hill offers moderate climbs and peaceful forest scenery, making it a rewarding 3–4 mile loop. Spring wildflowers and birdsong are your soundtrack here.

Cannabis pairing: A sativa-dominant flower like Super Lemon Haze or Durban Poison

These classic strains offer energy and focus—perfect for a trail that asks you to be present in every step. Pre-rolls or a small flower jar in a smell-proof case are great for the trail.

3. Wright’s Mountain – Laid-back with a View

Located a bit north in Bradford, this 2-mile loop leads to one of the best panoramic views in the Upper Valley. It’s family-friendly, peaceful, and ideal for sunset watching.

Cannabis pairing: Hybrid THC edible or a balanced 1:1 THC:CBD tincture

Let the gentle balance of effects complement the beauty of the mountain vista. Bring a picnic, bring a friend, and make it a moment to remember.

Cannabis Etiquette on the Trail

While we love the idea of combining cannabis and nature, it’s important to be respectful:

  • Consume discreetly and legally—never in federal parks or where it’s prohibited.
  • Pack out everything you bring in, including packaging and roaches.
  • Use a smell-proof container and avoid open flames in dry conditions.
