Vermont is New England's prime destination for outdoor activities. With refreshingly cool temperatures throughout the winter, the state's picturesque landscape remains snow covered throughout the season and sets the stage for an abundance of winter activities - alpine skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, pond skating, sleigh rides, and sledding.

As winter gives way to spring, the rivers and streams come alive and provide exceptional fly-fishing and kayaking. The forests awaken and the wildlife readies for its energetic summer. The trails for hikers and bikers offer breathtaking views of natures annual transformation.

Spring gives way to summer. The temperatures rise but the lush green grass never fades. Golf, tennis, and swimming, are added to list of options. Blue skies and fresh air are standard throughout the summer months and come at no additional charge.

Colorful, vibrant, brilliant, and picturesque describe one thing - Fall in Vermont. Hiking, biking, horse back riding, and touring are but a few ways to take in what pilgrims from all over the world come to see each year.
