Vermont, USA

Just because it's not ski season doesn't mean you won't love Vermont. Fresh, crisp air and bright colors abound. Plus, you'll be hard-pressed to find more charm in Vermont's quaint towns. Don't miss the shopping or covered bridge in Stowe; it makes a perfect selfie backdrop. Pedal along the Burlington Bike Path for an impressive view of Lake Champlain. Or, you could hike for days along Vermont's beautiful hiking trails.
Not a fan of mountain climbing? A moderate two-mile walk will get you from Molly Stark State Park to the much lower summit of Mt. Olga; it's just over 520 feet. Your reward: expansive views of fall foliage at its peak.
All that walking will work up an appetite. Why not indulge in a pint of Ben & Jerry's after experiencing the factory tour in Waterbury - no judgement here! Or, learn how maple syrup is made at the Bragg Farm Sugar House & Gift Shop in Montpelier.
Have a dog? Bring him (or her) to Dog Mountain, a mountain-top haven for our four-legged friends in St. Johnsbury. It even boasts a dog-friendly chapel and gallery.
