Curious about the name Cottonstone? Join the Upper Valley Land Trust and the Orford Conservation Commission for a special hike up this prominent peak in the Connecticut River Valley!

We’ll explore the origin of this intriguing name while soaking in stunning views of the river, including the iconic Fairlee/Orford Bridge. Along the way, we’ll take breaks to discover the natural wonders that make this hike truly special.
