Vermont
A Place All Its Own
Vermont Overview
one of America’s most appealing states
Known colloquially as the Green Mountain State, Vermont is known for its beautiful fall foliage and its maple syrup in addition to being a popular destination for hiking and skiing. With 587 miles of shoreline, Lake Champlain is a haven for wildlife, and a playground for canoeists, kayakers, and sailors. With a covered bridge, white-spired church, weathered barns, and ski trails down the mountainside, Stowe is everybody’s image of Vermont. Unquestionably Vermont’s most popular tourist attraction for children – and for adults, too – is Ben & Jerry’s factory tour. In Vermont, everything is about unique experiences in nature and around local downtowns.
