Green Mountains Extending the length of Vermont from Massachusetts to Canada, this mostly gentle chain of forested hills and low mountains offers great hiking, scenic back-road drives, fantastic inns, and superb bicycling.
Lake Champlain Pastoral and scenic, the region of Vermont that forms half the lakeshore of Lake Champlain ("New England's West Coast") offers idyllic drives and a sense of gracious openness -- along with a lot of dairy cows and great views of New York's Adirondacks.
Northeast Kingdom This is Vermont at its most remote and lost-in-time best. The state's northeastern counties are rugged and hilly, still mostly timber country but with some wonderfully improbable grace notes, such as the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum and Bread and Puppet Museum.
The Upper Valley The Connecticut River Valley between Vermont and New Hampshire is a world unto itself, full of villages, rolling hills, covered bridges, and the New England classic, Hanover, N.H., home to Dartmouth College.
