Take a break and get lost in his ways
As you can imagine, Vermont is known for its incredible natural landscape, made up mostly of forests. It is a very quiet place that invites you to rest, contemplate and enjoy its natural views of enchanted forests and tree-covered mountains.
The best way to get to know it is by calmly walking its paths. It is advisable to follow the secondary roads that connect with towns and villages, enjoying in the course of a view of beautiful forests with reddish, orange and yellow tints; hills, valleys, lakes and famous bridges.
We recommend visiting towns like Grafton, a small village nestled in the mountains, or Brattleboro, a modern town famous for its galleries, food, and outdoor activities that add adventure to Vermont in the fall.

Lake Champlain
Lake Champlain – Lake Champlain – is a beautiful blue lake surrounded by numerous trees. Located in the Northeast, it is shared by both the United States and Canada. In addition, it is the fourth largest freshwater lake in the United States.
The closest city is Burlington, so it is highly recommended to go there. What are you waiting for? Enjoy spending time at Lake Champlain and taking pictures of the spectacular fall transition of the trees.
The capital, Montpelier
Montpelier is the capital of Vermont. Interestingly, it is the seventh largest city in the state and the smallest capital in the country, with no more than 10,000 inhabitants.
Despite being a small city, it has its charm. There you can observe the typical colonial houses, the House of the State ( State House ) with its golden dome feature, or visit the Hubbard Park (Hubbard Park) to climb the tower of 16 meters and get incredible panoramic views.
Its colonial architecture, immersed among the picturesque autumn trees, offers very harmonious views. Actually, it is a destination that seems out of a movie. Worth a visit!
Woodstock and its bridges
One hour from Montpelier, we have the town of Woodstock, on the banks of the Ottauquechee River. Here you will find Georgian and Federal style mansions surrounded by trees. In addition, we can see prominent covered bridges, such as the Northfield Fall Covered and the Lower Cox Brook Covered, which are the only two in Vermont that can be seen at the same time.
Stowe, an ideal town for panoramic views
Stowe is another destination that highlights Vermont in the fall. It is very popular for its cultural activity and for its ski resort, installed in the natural environment of Mount Mansfield, although it is crowded in winter.
However, the magic here is not limited to the winter season, but this town is also fantastic in the previous months. For example, you can watch the picturesque fall colors from the Skyride Gondola as you climb Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont.
You will be able to get incredible panoramic views from there. Therefore, prepare your camera, because you cannot leave without photographing such a majestic landscape!
Vermont’s Historic Bridges
If you like to get lost around and see unique places, you must travel the bridges of Vermont. More than 100 are found in this state, and most date from the 19th century.
In addition to the Woodstock bridges already mentioned, we recommend visiting the Burt Henry, Paper Mill and Silk Road bridges in Bennington; the Gold Brook Covered Bridge in Stowe, made of dark wood and known for being ‘haunted’; or the Creamery Covered Bridge, with a reddish hue and only open to pedestrians, where you can also have privileged views.
Vermont in the fall is just one of a kind
As we have described, there is nothing better than visiting Vermont in the fall, especially between the end of September and the beginning of October. You will see how the leaves of the trees transform and adopt beautiful tones, especially beech, birch and sugar maples, which are the main trees of the place.
Finally, do not miss the charm of its towns and villages, with unique views that seem to be taken from postcards. If you are looking for tranquility, renewal and a natural environment, don’t think twice! Put this destination on your list of future places to visit.
