Top Reasons to Go
Small-Town Charm: Vermont rolls out a seemingly never-ending supply of tiny towns replete with white-steepled churches, town greens, red barns, general stores, and bed-and-breakfasts.
Ski Resorts: The East's best skiing can be found in well-managed, modern facilities with great views and lots and lots of powdery, fresh snow.
Fall Foliage: Perhaps the most vivid colors in North America wave from the trees in September and October.
Gorgeous Landscapes: This sparsely populated, heavily forested state is an ideal place to find peace and quiet amid the mountains, valleys, and lakes.
Vibrant Local Eats: The rich soil, and an emphasis on the state's maker-artisan culture, has led to great dairies, orchards, vineyards, specialty stores, and farm-to-table restaurants. Even the world-famous beer scene is known to highlight state-grown hops and locally made malt.
