About Vermont
Vermont is small and rural. Most of the state is forest, farm country, and small towns. The Green Mountains run up the middle, so you get real hiking: the Long Trail, ridgeline walks, and a lot of peaks that feel remote even when they're not that far from the road. There are swimming holes everywhere in summer, and the kind of back roads that make a drive feel like part of the trip. Fall brings leaf season and a lot of visitors; winter is skiing and quiet. People who live here or come back every year have strong opinions about which spots are worth it. This page is where they share those places.
