Vermont is a state in north-eastern United States. It is a place where fall colour is renowned. Hence we visited Vermont during fall(season). We drove to this place to enjoy the scenic route.
Vermont also called as Green mountain state inherits beauty from surrounding mountains, lakes and rivers. During our 4 hour drive to this place, we could hardly take our eyes off from the windows as the route to Vermont was so beautiful. We saw cows grazing in the farms. We also saw stunning horses on farmlands. Fields looked vibrant in all shades of green. Mountains bordering these fields and farmlands looked stunning in fall colours. Mainly, we pass through the countryside roads and they just look like a painting. My face was glued to the windows to savour the whole scene of village, serene country roads, fields with brown and white cows, limpid lakes and craggy mountains.
We halted in a rented house in the night and we headed to Mansfield Mount Park next morning. It is the highest mountain in Vermont.
We stopped by the toll road to buy tickets at the entrance. We could walk, hike, drive or take the gondola ride to get to the top of the mountain. But we preferred to drive as gondola ride turned out to be very expensive. We stopped at few places to view fall foliage. Trees looked splendid in brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow and scarlet. As we drove higher to the peak of the mountain, there were colours everywhere with leaves in full splendour.
And when we reached the summit we were blessed with a spectacular view. We could see lakes Champlain, Canada and colourful mountain ranges from the top. I would prefer to hike if I plan to visit this place again. All in all, It was an enjoyable experience. A must see place for all Vermont Visitors.
