Vroman's Nose not only encompasses the basic easy and difficult trails, but also notes of interest. These include the summit, which is a large, flat surface left by glacial movements. A very wide view of Schoharie Valley is seen from here. The hike is also sight of historical value. There is also a location near the summit that may have been used by Patriot snipers during the Revolution.
It isn't a long hike (1.7 miles) and it is pretty much straight up. We have seen a lot of smaller children on the trail so it seems doable for them too.
