The Itinerary
Vermont, the Northeast's most rural state, is famous for its bucolic dairy farms, maple syrup and Lake Champlain. Burlington (pop. 45,000) is surprisingly hip — home to Ben & Jerry's headquarters.
Lake Champlain Islands (Grand Isle, North Hero, Isle La Motte) are reachable by causeway from Burlington. Island Line Rail Trail (cycling on a former railway crossing the lake). Apple orchards, wineries. Saint Anne's Shrine on Isle La Motte (where the first Catholic Mass in Vermont was celebrated in 1666). Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour in Waterbury.
