Mostly rural and these days famously crunchy, the Green Mountain State is full of farms; bed and breakfasts; covered bridges; world-class ski spots; maple sugaring; charming towns like Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Middlebury, Montpelier; and Stowe; and of course some of the USA's fabbest fall foliage.

Biking tours cited in 'In the USA this Fall, Combine Foliage with Adventure'

Dan and Mary Stroudt oooh and aaah at the multicolored scenery below the hot air balloon in which they’re riding. The journey is very different for Mark and Marylee Sutherland as they help to paddle a rubber raft along a stretch of whitewater in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Betsy Goodman and Tom Cross are traveling at a slower pace, strolling across a glass-bottom observation deck. These disparate experiences may seem to have little in common, but they do.

A look at the USA's gorgeous 'Green Mountain State'

  Autumn is right around the corner, and what better moment to talk about the northeastern USA's diminutive "Green Mountain State" (its second smallest, in fact - just 160 miles/260 kilometers long and 130 mi./80km  wide)? Tucked away amid the six states of the New England region, Vermont is known for its quirky, individualist, and progressive vibe, and it also packs a lot of appeal into its small package beyond just some of the world's loveliest fall foliage, and it's just a three-hour drive…

  • Wow, the ¨dark side¨ of leaf peeping. Can you imagine a place trying to keep foliage tourists away? But it sure seems like they´ve got a point: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/vermont-town-banning-influencers-touri...
    Why this Vermont town is banning influencers and tourists from visiting its fall foliage

  • It's already pretty late in the game, but the Burlington Free Press recently ran a piece (reposted here on MSN.com) on where to find Vermont's best fall foliage - and if you can't make it on such short notice - bookmark this for '23! https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/tripideas/vermont-has-erupted-in-c...
  • An interesting New York Times piece from a month ago about the comeback of the Ascutney ski resort in southern Vermont, closed because of erratic snowfall and mismanagement in 2010, then brought back by local townspeople themselves using sustainable, volunteer-driven,nonprofit methods, expanding activities to adapt to climate change and so forth: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/01/travel/ascutney-cross-country.html (and if you find it behind a paywall, it was reprinted at https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2263399/ski-town-rallies-after-re...).
