Vermont Travel Guide

Vermont is the New England of postcards: 100+ covered bridges, village greens, maple sugarhouses, and the fall foliage that draws the world each October. Stowe's ski mountain and the Trapp Family Lodge anchor the winter.
Burlington on Lake Champlain is the small city with the big food scene; the Ben and Jerry's factory in Waterbury is the essential sweet stop. The Long Trail runs the state's length.
