Summer and Fall in Vermont
Skiing is Vermont’s biggest attraction, but summer in Vermont is an underrated experience. Enjoy a weekend cooling off in swimming holes, grabbing sandwiches from the local country store, and exploring the Green Mountain State’s hiking trails.
Minus the swimming, all these places are beautiful in the fall for leaf-peeping.
