Vermont, a northern New England state, is beloved for its fall colors, quaint inns and charming villages. One of the least populated states in the union, its capital is Montpelier (population less than 8,000). Fewer than 50,000 inhabit Burlington, Vermont’s largest city.

For biking, Vermont’s winding country roads provide an ideal setting. Walkers can catch the Appalachian Trail in the southwest area of the state and continue through the Green Mountains. For spectacular views, look no further than a shoreline cruise of Lake Champlain, situated between the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains.
