Sun Oct 15 2023 Millstone Quarry Hike by Steve and Heather Bailey
The interest in this hike was overwhelming – we had 18 hikers and had to turn away eight more people as we didn’t want the group to be too large. The foliage in Montpelier was not very colorful, but the aspens and birch at the quarries gave us a nice display. We parked by the old (now abandoned) Rock of Ages visitor center on Graniteville Road and did a loop around the Rock of Ages quarry, stopping for lunch on a peninsula which stuck out into the quarry. It was an international group, with two Cubans, two Dominicans, one Nicaraguan and one Polish person.
