Why Spring is the Best Time to Explore Vermont Outdoors

Spring is the perfect time to explore the various trails and hiking spots near White River Junction. Not only is it warmer (fewer layers to deal with and a more comfortable outdoor experience), but days are getting longer again, which makes it easier to find time to get outside. The White River Junction area has a number of popular hiking trails to choose from, including:

• Quechee State Park, with easy-to-moderate trails along the river
• Thundering Brook Falls, with a historic mill powered by the energy of the falling water
• The Appalachian Trail, with overnight shelters that can be used by hikers

Pairing outdoor activities with cannabis can help you feel more present in the moment. Sativa strains can also help increase energy as you tackle complex trails or exciting adventures. If you’re looking for a solution that can help you wind down at the end of your adventure, indica strains are there to help you relax and take it all in. 

What Makes a Cannabis Strain Great for Hiking?

Before you choose a cannabis strain for your hiking adventure, start by considering your desired effect. Are you looking for more energy? The focus to keep pushing on toward your goal? Enhanced creativity? 

Sativa strains and sativa-dominant hybrids are known for their ability to produce those effects and help you make the most of your experience. Of course, make sure you’re enjoying responsibly. Start with a low dose and make sure you know how it impacts you before you increase your cannabis consumption. In addition, don’t try cannabis for the first time when you’re planning a solo event.

Safety and Compliance Tips for Outdoor Cannabis Use in Vermont

Vermont law governs where and when you can use cannabis products. It prohibits the consumption of cannabis on public property, including parks and hiking trails. However, you can consume cannabis on private property if you have the permission of the owner. If you plan to transport cannabis, make sure it is in a sealed container out of reach of the driver. Consider placing it in the trunk or in another out-of-the-way area to ensure that you are in full compliance with the law. 

If you plan to use cannabis as part of your outdoor adventure, you may want to use it on your own before you head out or after you get back home. No matter what products you bring along with you, follow leave no trace principles and pack out any items you brought in.
