Mostly rural and these days famously crunchy, its a Green Mountain State full of farms, B&B's, covered bridges, skiing, maple sugaring, and of course some of America'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. They provide…

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…

The best of Stowe at Topnotch Resort

Northern Vermont's Stowe region embodies what comes to mind when envisioning a quintessential Green Mountain getaway. Beyond its renown as “ski capital of the east" surrounded by wide open meadows and working farms nestled among rolling mountains that rise up in every direction, this region is the epicenter of VT craft-food producers ranging from household names like Cabot and Ben & Jerry's to local favorites like Cold Hollow Cider Mill and Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea. Can't miss eateries like…

    Tomorrow: free ice cream at Ben & Jerry's. Thank you, gentlemen!

    I'll get mine in NY, because, well, that's where I'll be. Have you been to the flagship shop in Vermont? Didja like it?

    Yes, anyone else? Maybe I can talk the man I'm dating into taking me to Vermont for a romantic weekend!

    And the skiing at nearby mountains ain't bad!

    It's Spring in Northern New England. (In other words, it was snowing a few days ago, and now it's 70 degrees). Time to start thinking about day trips that combine sightseeing, outdoor activities and great dining. Head for Quechee, where you can hike into the Gorge or have a leisurely lunch overlooking the falls -- or both. And Woodstock, a classic (albeit a bit Disneyfied) New England village, is right up the road, offering independent bookstores, restaurants, inns,shops, FW Gillingham's General Store, art galleries, and the Billings Farm Museum.

    That's for sure and heads up to everyone about the Vermont Mountaineers baseball team. I'll be rooting for Holyoke June 4th, but that's okay.
