30 Great Things to Do in Vermont

Vermont, the Green Mountain state, is the place to simply stand still and enjoy the beauty of outdoors and nature, or to ramp up the fun with help from nature’s resources: skiing or snow tubing on the frosted mountains; joining other dazzled leaf peepers to gaze at the brilliant fall foliage; hiking, biking, fishing, or paddling through the cool forests; playing a round of golf on smoothly cultivated hillsides. Visitors taking Vermont vacations receive a cozy, often old-fashioned welcome at lodgings that can range from small B&Bs to country inns to modern resorts with spas and other luxuries. Historic sites feature the people and places of the American Revolution; fascinating museums as well as art and theater and music venues help offset the abundant outdoor and winter activities. Shopping in country stores, galleries, museum stores, or at sprawling outlet communities is welcomed and encouraged. At day’s start or day’s end, native refreshments include maple syrup, apples, cheese, and chocolate. Beauty ranges from rustic to refined, and it all feels special to the Vermont way of life.
