If there's one word that describes Vermont, it has to be 'scenic'. Winding roads along rolling hills allow for wonderful vistas of tumbling streams, lovely villages and superb trails amid thick woods and state forests. The Green Mountains, one of the main attractions in the region, offer no less gorgeous views, plus over 20 resorts with some of the best skiing in the East Coast.

Blink and you might miss the summer, but the beautiful foliage season (around mid-October), and the snowy winters are probably even more interesting. Skiing, biking, hiking and even canoeing are probably the most popular of the long list of outdoors activities available in the region, but sitting in the front porch of a quaint inn taking in the season is also one of the best ways to experience Vermont.
