It was a dream of ours to visit New England on a fall road trip. The colors of autumn make the forests, majestic mountains, and maple trees light up with hues of oranges, yellows, and reds.
It was a sight as dreamy as it sounds.
Vermont is a state with so much to offer. It’s known as the ‘Green Mountain State’ because of how naturally stunning it is, and it’s also where foodie fans will love sampling all the fresh organic produce and delicious maple syrup. There are so many things to do in Vermont, you will never be bored.
But since many of the top places to visit in Vermont are nature spots, it’s best to explore the area by car. This is why a New England road trip is such a good idea. You can explore all the incredible scenery without worrying about public transport and finding a place to stay nearby.
It’s a good idea to rent a car beforehand, as prices tend to rack up if you leave it to the last minute. Check out RentalCar, a price comparison website where you can find the best deals.

You also need to remember to pay a toll fee. The fees are $15.00 car and driver, and an extra $5.00 per passenger.
There are a lot of hiking trails in the Green Mountain National Forest. We only had time for one hike so we chose to do the Prospect Rock Walk…
