Each Tuesday this season, we're sharing stories that highlight what Rock Point means to you!

"Rock Point Commons has given me the gift of wonder. I truly loved the ephemeral wildflower journaling workshop. I found myself thinking about the experience for the rest of the day and spent a few hours researching some of the plants that Lorna pointed out along the trails. (Hepatica is a marvel!)
I usually commune with nature by taking a walk/hike/trail run through the woods. Moving at a slower, intentional pace and focusing intently on whatever caught my eye took me back to my childhood, where everything was magical and sparked my curiosity. I enjoyed this experience so much that I participated in several other workshops and plan to do more this fall." -Kasie Nolan, Burlington Community Member

"Having Rock Point in our network is a wonderful opportunity for Vermonters and visitors alike. Folks get to stay and spend time in a scenic and unique environment, all while being able to access the attractions of Burlington by way of the bike path or public transportation. It’s the best of both worlds." -RJ Thompson, Executive Director, Vermont Huts & Trails
