New England's most spectacular fall foliage, covered bridges, farm-to-table dining, and mountain trails.
About This Destination
Vermont's combination of sugar maple forests, rolling hills, covered bridges, and a deeply rooted farm-to-table food culture makes it one of the most rewarding destinations in New England. The fall foliage — typically peaking in early to mid-October — draws visitors from around the world. But Vermont rewards every season: spring maple sugaring, summer hiking and cycling, and winter skiing at Stowe, Killington, and Mad River Glen.
