This completely revised, expanded, and updated twelfth
edition covers the entire Green Mountain State, from
the austere beauty of the Northeast Kingdom to the
creative energy of Brattleboro; from the Connecticut River and
the towns along both its Vermont and New Hampshire banks to the Lake Champlain Valley, celebrating the 400th anniversary of its exploration in 2009.

You’ll find in-depth descriptions of major Vermont destinations like Burlington, Manchester, and Woodstock, but the authors pride themselves on their detailed coverage of the state’s less-traveled areas, especially the Northeast Kingdom, and including the nearest of Canada’s Eastern Townships. They always highlight the most interesting and rewarding places to visit, whether on back roads or in bigger cities—artists’ studios, family farms, and historic sites among them.

To compile this edition the authors revisited hundreds of dining and lodging places, and they provide their opinionated reviews on everything from roadside barbecue to gourmet feasts, from B&Bs to luxurious spas and inns.

Vermont also offers four seasons of unbeatable outdoor recreation, and this guide provides great recommendations for every activity you’re looking for—mountain biking and cycling; hiking and swimming; skiing, snowshoeing, and snowboarding; horseback riding, fishing, and paddling—and many more, both on and off the beaten track.
