IL❤️VERMONT, called the Green Mountain State for a reason. Small but mighty: 125 miles of Lake Champlain coastline, the iconic Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory, and Burlington’s shops, arts, restaurants. ‘Leaf peeping,’ endless hiking trails, apple & maple syrup farms, covered bridges, skiing on ice and our sweet family, what’s not to L❤️VE?
