We just got a report from a guest that the Little Rock Pond Trail off Forest Road 10 in the Danby/Mt. Tabor area is a little wetter this year than usual, so be prepared.  Apparently Hurricane Irene made a mess of the trail, but it is passable and beautiful.

The Silas Griffith Inn is proud to announce its New Summer mid-week specials - all King/Queen/Twin rooms just $99/night and still includes breakfast!  Enjoy hikes, shopping, museums, theater and more without the weekend crowds.  Or just sit and relax in this quiet Historic Inn/B&B in the quaint little village of Danby, Vermont.  Family friendly and pet friendly! Ask about other specials and weekly rates and large group rates.  Now available - dog walking is included in the pet fee, so if it is too hot or cold Fido can stay comfortable in your room.

Hello Friends,

We offer special spring  rates for private  hiking trips in Slovakia in May 2012. 25% discount. NO SINGLE ROOM SUPPLEMENT.

group in the High Tatras, Gerlach peak trail.

High Tatras

Impressive Hikes in an Undiscovered Corner of Europe

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS!

• Challenge yourself with hikes to the summit of several peaks in the High Tatras, a unique, seldom-traveled corner of Europe

• Enjoy scenic landscapes of limestone peaks and unique alpine wildflowers

• Visit timeless villages with old-world charm

• Discover the delights of historic Vienna and Prague (and optional tour of Krakow)

Few visitors to the Slovak Republic (part of former Czechoslovakia) take the trip out to Slovakia’s magnificent mountains, but adventure travelers know what they have to offer: challenging hiking and spectacular alpine scenery.

The High Tatras, on the Polish border, are a scaled down version of the Alps, where snow stays all summer atop jagged granite peaks, waterfalls tumble from stark rock walls, and jewel like tarns sparkle in wide, green glacial valleys. And in the Malá Fatra mountains, a subsidiary range, deep narrow gorges and ridgetop trails offer great hiking, while a rich alpine flora is found along its quiet forest paths and richly green meadows.

On this hiker’s odyssey, you’ll make easy scrambles up local peaks, traverse long green valleys to high summit ridges, and meet the friendly locals who share the trails with you (hiking is Slovakia’s national sport!). Hikes range in length from five to eight hours, with a return to the hotel at the end of the day. If you feel like skipping any of the hikes, you’ll find opportunities to explore the local culture.

Happy Spring!  We're offering 2 wonderful packages with half-price rooms this spring.  We've had reports that the local hiking to Little Rock Pond is amazing, but a little muddy.  And Lye Brooks Falls is just fine.  The weather is beautiful, and it promises to be a wonderful Spring and Summer.

We'd love to see you as our guests at this Historic Inn which we are step-by-step restoring to its former glory, while still maintaining the charm, warmth, and homey feeling everyone enjoys. - Cathy

Spring Clean Up Days at the Silas Griffith Inn!

 Spring is coming, and even after such a lack of snow, there is still a lot to do to get ready for Summer including preparing the gardens, and repairing the ravages of Winter.  In exchange for your help with the clean-up, we’re offering all our rooms at Half-Price from April 1st, 2012 through April 30^th, 2012.  To get your discount all you have to do is promise to help with the clean up during your stay.  And it doesn't have to be hours of hard labor - we'd be happy with anything you want to help with, from simple yard work, to thinning the hostas (again....) to helping clean up branches, and even learning about our organic gardens.  There's even painting to be done, even after such a mild winter there's always spring painting!  And yes, your stay includes a full breakfast.

To get this special package, request the Spring Clean-up Package when you make your reservation for anytime between April 1st to 30^th, 2012.  Call 1-888-569-4660 or e-mail stay@silasgriffith.com.

 Green-Up Day Special.

(This special was inspired by several of our hikers who would come home every evening with bags of trash they collected on the trails. Oh for the day when cleaning up after fellow hikers is no longer necessary.)

Love Vermont?!?  Help Keep it Green and Clean!!! Green-Up Day is coming!

 To celebrate Green-Up Day the Silas Griffith Inn is offering a May Special.

 All rooms ½ price May 1-10, 2012 with a little Green-Up Help.  How to help:  while you are visiting Vermont and traveling around, take one of our Green-Up Packs and pick up any trash you see.  The Green-Up Packs include the Official Green-Up Day bags and gloves for your protection.  To get this special rate, ask for the Green-Up Special when you make your reservation by calling 1-888-569-4660 or e-mailing stay@silasgriffith.com.

Happy New Year's from The World on Wheels. We're trying something a little different this week, a couple of rides on different kinds of wheels. Our first report of the year is a hidden gem...a fast, five mile ride down the San Gabriel River Trail, located about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. Come along for the ride: http://tinyurl.com/7xcdou2

Hard to believe, but there is still non-snowy hiking here in Southern Vermont.  Lye Brook Falls, Little Rock Pond, Baker Peak and Mt. Tabor are all short day-hikes, and the views of the mountains stripped of leaves and still uncovered by snow are beautiful.

There are 800 miles of hiking trails in Yosemite National Park with elevations ranging from 2000 feet to over 13,000 feet. My personal goal is to hike them all! 300 left to go. So, if your vacation plans include hiking in the Yosemite region and you'd like the inside scoop on which trails might be best for your adventure. Contact Kris@yosemite-tours.org
