What to See in the Green Mountain State

There are many reasons — and opportunities — to embrace the great outdoors in the state of Vermont. Whether you favor wildlife viewing, appreciate a good hike or simply seek solitude, Vermont has that and more. Offering a strong locavore culture and ample outdoor activities — including skiing and snowboarding in winter — Vermont also features scenic drives through pastoral landscapes dotted with covered bridges.

North Country National Scenic Trail

Intersecting eight states, from Vermont to North Dakota, the North Country National Scenic Trail is a trek through hills and valleys, with chances to take in glacial lakes and learn how America grew as a nation en route.

Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park

If the Appalachian Trail seems too tough to tackle, instead stroll through one of the state’s most picturesque landscapes at the MarshBillings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, learning about stewardship while marveling at 400-year-old hemlocks and crossing covered bridges.
