Although Explorer's Guide Vermont covers the entire Green Mountain State, the authors pride themselves on their detailed coverage of the state's less-traveled areas, especially the Northeast Kingdom.

They always highlight the most interesting and rewarding places to visit, whether on back roads or in bigger cities-artists' studios, family farms, and historic sites among them. This guide provides great recommendations for every activity you're looking for-mountain and road biking; hiking and swimming; skiing, snowshoeing, and snowboarding; horseback riding, fishing, and paddling-and many more, both on and off the beaten track.
