When is the Best Time to Visit Vermont?
Planning a time to visit Vermont relies heavily on your priorities: Do you prefer to ski, or slurp up some sweet local maple syrup? Enjoy the fall colors or bask in the spring sunshine? We suggest traveling to Vermont in the late spring or fall when maple syrup is abundant and colors are vibrant throughout the countryside. Trails will be clear and crowds will be fewer on your adventures. Temperatures are favorable in either season, though in fall you may catch a bit more chilly air.
Things to Do and See in Vermont
Vermont has been known as a skiing-centric state for at least the last century, as its foothills and rolling vistas make for perfect runs in the wintertime and ski resorts provide home bases. Unsurprisingly, skiers across the country flock to the mountains for some highly anticipated powder time. But the springs, summers, and falls offer just as much adventure in Vermont especially in and around its famous towns of Stowe and Burlington. Snap a photo of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s tallest mountain, and Smugglers Notch, an iconic skiing slope. Biking, hiking, and kayaking are go-to adventures for locals. Tourists on the all-inclusive Austin Adventures trip can enjoy cozy and comforting service at hotels, family resorts, and lodging while finding all there is to do in the state with the help of a guide, like taste the famous locally-made maple syrup and Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream straight from the source, and visit poet Robert Frost’s farm that is sure to inspire.
Planning a Vermont Vacation
There’s no shortage of adventures in this New England state. But that also means your packing list may not seem that short. Take advantage of our tips for packing for your Vermont vacation here.
Pack for Activities
Whether you’ll be hopping on a bike or hitting the hiking trail, dressing comfortably is your #1 priority. Pack stretchy or breathable pants that allow movement and a few layers for your top, like a moisture-wicking shirt and a flannel or zip-up jacket. For cooler days, we recommend a packable down jacket or the like to throw on after you’ve finished adventuring. Casual dress is not frowned upon in town so you can keep your hiking boots and pants on with no worries when you head out for dinner in the evenings.
