Vermont

Lakes, waterfalls, covered bridges, and lots of swimming
MODERATE BIKING      16 DAYS
Trip VER
A classic, wonderful trip that we've been running for over 40 years! World famous biking in world famous scenery - you can't go wrong!

Wet in the Wilderness of Vermont...yes, WET! Vermont Bike Adventure combines picturesque New England beauty with the summertime fun of swimming. In Vermont, you have the opportunity to swim almost every day; it might be in a clear mountain lake, lazy farm pond, rushing waterfall, gurgling forest brook or from a swing below a covered bridge.


The biking is awesome in Vermont! It's Vermont, so there will be some hills but every uphill ride earns you a downhill coast on the other side. Trippers enjoy great roads for cycling, excellent campgrounds, cool nights for sleeping, quaint country stores, working farms and covered bridges.



Your group will ride on quiet, tree lined country lanes and on winding roads through green mountain valleys, past red barns and lush fi elds with inquisitive cows or horses (or llamas!) hanging over the fences, all leading you through pretty villages. Vermont's general stores are amazing, with everything from cheese to hats to candy to stamps for the postcards that you never remember to mail home. Simple summer pleasures of fun and friends await you in Vermont!
