State of Inspiration
A DEEPLY REWARDING ESCAPE
There’s a cave in Greensboro where wheels of cheddar have been aging for decades. On Lake Champlain, a thin gravel trail stretches 3 miles into the water. In Isle La Motte, 480-million-year-old fossils are imprinted in stone. Welcome to Vermont, where experiences spark curiosity and celebrate the spirit of discovery. Come find your State of Inspiration.
Trip Ideas
Take the winding trail
Robert Frost had it right: take the road less traveled. With 8,000 miles of trails and more dirt roads than paved, Vermont pulls you into the journey. Take the winding road and see what you find. Usually, that’s the whole point.
Vermont Seasons
Six(ish) seasons
Vermont doesn’t do nature by halves or by four seasons. Depending on who you ask, we have six: spring, summer, fall, winter, plus the beloved maple season and stick season. With six(ish) seasons, different experiences unfold throughout the year.
Arts & Culture
Culture country
Vermont has the greatest density of writers and artists in the country. The independent spirit of the Green Mountain State has nurtured a creative community built over generations. With hundreds of performing arts organizations, galleries, and museums, plus countless festivals across the state, Vermont’s creativity flows through the state.
Food & Drink
Farm to Table? We Just Call It Dinner
Vermont’s been doing farm to table since before it had a name. With over 6,500 farms, fresh, local, and ridiculously good products aren’t a trend, it’s traditionally how Vermonters eat. Around here, knowing where your food came from is as much a part of the experience as what’s on the plate.
