Vermont at a Glance
Famous for its country inns, covered bridges, and recreational opportunities
such as hiking, biking, and cross country skiing, Vermont has a reputation for
being the state with a "mind of its own." Visit Montpelier,
the state's capital, which has the oldest and best-kept state house in the union.
See Lake Champlain
from the shore or on a schooner cruise, or visit one of the area's numerous
historic sites. In Burlington,
check out the summer jazz music festival. Burlington is also the home of Ben
& Jerry's Ice Cream factory, where tours are available for the curious.
A trip to the Green
Mountains area of Vermont is an absolute must. Manchester is a bastion of
outdoor activities and also boasts the American
Museum of Fly Fishing, featuring a host of information dedicated to this
outdoor pastime. It is the Green Mountains that hold the ski resorts for which
Vermont is so well known. Spend some time at Killington/Pico,
Stowe, Rutland
or one of the several other resorts.
