If you've passed it by but never stopped, you owe yourself a visit. The view is inspiring and the height dizzying.
The adjacent parking lot makes the walk an easy minute, but be prepared to have your breath quickly drawn away. One time I even saw a girl collapse with jelly-kneed terror!
If you are in a hurry you can be in and out in 5 minutes, but if you care to explore there are paths that lead down the ravine. You may even go as far as the dam, which is both tranquil and idyllic. A longer walk will lead you across the Ottauquechee River and into the Village Proper, which is a photo-shoot in waiting, itself.
Many restaurants and shops are situated around the gorge, and the greater area boasts other day trip stops such as The Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) raptor & education center, King Arthur Flour Mill Store, Harpoon Brewery, Sugarbush Farms, and the Billings Farm.
