This is Patrick's hometown and is a 45-minute drive (just over the mountain) from Waitsfield. Great day trip if you're in town for a few extra days. Get some breakfast at Bristol Cliffs Cafe, then head for a short hike up Bristol Cliffs--right on the edge of town. After your hike, head up to Bartlett Falls (one of New England's best swimming locations) and then grab an early dinner at the Bobcat Cafe (Patrick's personal favorite in Vermont!).
