Green Mountains Vermont Fall Foilage ポストカード

Vermont’s landscape unfolds in a verdant quilt of rolling hills, forested mountains, and patchwork farms. Dominated by the Green Mountains—whose tree-clad ridges glow in emerald through spring and summer, blaze crimson and gold in autumn, and stand snow-capped in winter—this small New England state feels like a year-round natural retreat. Winding country roads lead past dairy farms where Jersey cows graze in mist-shrouded fields, red barns tucked beneath maples dripping with sap in early spring. In spring and fall, roadside stands offer freshly tapped maple syrup and crisp apples, while hidden waterfalls gurgle along mossy ravines, inviting hikers to discover the quiet rhythms of Vermont’s woodlands. Yet Vermont’s spirit extends beyond its scenery to the creative energy of its towns and villages. Burlington, perched on the shores of Lake Champlain, hums with a lively arts scene—galleries and street murals rub shoulders with farm-to-table restaurants serving artisan cheeses and locavore cuisine. Quaint villages like Stowe and Woodstock showcase covered bridges and white-steepled churches, hosting fall harvest festivals and bustling farmers’ markets in summer. Breweries and cideries dot the landscape, each one experimenting with local hops and orchard-fresh apples to craft uniquely Vermont libations. Whether you’re carving powder on mountain slopes, paddling the calm waters at dawn, or curling up by a crackling fireplace in a historic inn, Vermont offers a warm, hospitable embrace wrapped in the pure air and simple pleasures of New England living.
