Travel
to Vermont
As the only New England state with no coastline
along the Atlantic Ocean, Vermont is notable for the Green Mountains in the
west and Lake Champlain in the northwest. It is bordered by Massachusetts to
the south, New Hampshire to the east, New York to the west, and the Canadian
province of Quebec to the north.
In the autumn, Vermont's hills
experience an explosion of red, orange and gold foliage displayed on the sugar
maple as cold weather approaches.
Vermont has many festivals, including
the Vermont Maple Festival, the Enosburg Falls Dairy Festival, the Marlboro
Music Festival, and the Mozart Festival.
In the winter, world famous ski
resorts like Stowe, Killington Ski Resort, Mad River Glen, Stratton, Jay Peak
and Okemo draw skiers from around the globe. In the summer, resort towns like
Stowe, Manchester, and Woodstock draw visitors looking for a mountain vacation.
