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.

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…

  • 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.
