Fall in Vermont Itinerary





Every year, I like going on a fall trip since I’m fortunate to get off work for Columbus day. I was heavily influenced the previous year by all of the photos of Vermont popping up, so I decided to go there for a long weekend. Vermont is known for its small towns, “leaf peeping,” covered bridges, Ben & Jerry factory, and lots of sugary treats. This is what I did:

Day 4

· Drive to New Hampshire to the White Mountains

· Ride the railway train up to the top of the White Mountains

· Possible hikes
