Vermont's outdoor adventures combine America's oldest long-distance trail with a farm-to-table food culture that has been feeding people well since long before it became a trend. The Long Trail runs 273 miles along the spine of the Green Mountains -- America's oldest long-distance trail, predating the Appalachian Trail by a decade. Even a 3-day section delivers ridge-top views, lean-to shelters, and fall foliage that stops you cold.

Vermont's farm-to-table scene is not a trend -- it's how people have eaten here for generations. Artisan cheese, maple syrup, grass-fed beef, and craft beer combine to make Vermont the best food state that nobody talks about. The combination of world-class hiking and world-class eating makes a Vermont trip uniquely satisfying.

These two Vermont adventures are drawn from Outdoor Taste + Tour's reporting across the Green Mountain State.
