Set on 150 acres tucked away on a hillside in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, Dog Mountain has become a destination for dog lovers looking to explore nature, take in art, or pay tribute to a pet. The park was created 25 years ago by Vermont folk artist Stephen Huneck and his wife Gwen. It features hiking trails, swimming ponds, an art gallery and a Dog Chapel where visitors can add to the thousands of photos and notes to pets that cover the chapel walls. Gallery Manager Pam McCann says Huneck was inspired by the bond he shared with his dogs and wanted to create a space where other animal lovers could celebrate their beloved pets.
