If someone were to visit Vermont is there anywhere you'd recommend they go?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I'd recommend renting a car (or driving here) and going from the south to the northeast kingdom (northeastern most part of the state and also the most rural part). It's a small state so it won't take that long. Burlington is a nice town, but imo totally fine to skip. Vermont's real charm is its small towns and their breweries, farms, restaurants, etc.

If you like dairy, try the local milk and ice cream at different farms that make, process, and sell on site. Lots of small dairies here have milk from breeds of cows you've probably never tried (Jerseys mainly but other kinds too). It's much tastier and creamier, and varies from farm to farm. Any brewery that has a bar is probably worth your time, and, when it comes to food/drink, we generally punch well above our weight for such a small place. Our maple syrup is, of course, legendary. Pro tip from someone who boils their own: The darker stuff is better, and the smaller the operation, the better the syrup, because bigger operations use fancy machines to extract water, whereas small ones rely entirely on boiling, so that syrup spends a lot more time cooking.

If you like hiking, you'll drive by lots of good hiking in the process, but the better hiking is in the whites in New Hampshire or in the Adirondacks in NY, though those are worse places in general ;).

Happy to answer specific questions.
