Web-savvy Vermont has plenty activity all year long

Vermont isn't just for autumn leaf colors or skiing. It's an inviting place for a vacation at any time of year, with plenty to see and do, and lots of places to relax.

It's also a very Web- savvy state, and you'll have no problem finding information on the Internet to help plan your visit.

Feast your eyes on Vermont scenery by clicking on Photo gallery at Vermont.com -- www.vermont.com/ -- and then explore the detailed information under Travel Guide. Look through Attractions, where you'll even find a guide to microbreweries, and consult Features for a directory of maple sugar producers.

Remember the outdoor scenes in the movie "Beetlejuice," or the apple orchards in "The Cider House Rules"? Those and other film scenes were shot in Vermont, and the state's official VermontVacation -- www.travel-vermont.com/ -- will tell you where. VermontVacation lets you explore the state's dozen regions, look up places to reserve a room or campsite, and pick out events to attend (there's a Grandma Moses exhibit at the Shelburne Museum until Oct. 27).

VermontVacation also has arts links, a downloadable state map, information on more recreation possibilities than you can fit into one trip, historic sites, and sections on seasonal pursuits. Look under Vermont Products to learn more about maple sugar production.

Explore the state as a series of scenic road trips with the help of Let Me Show You Vermont -- www.letmeshowyouvermont.com/ -- where you click on highway numbers for a detailed guide.

As an alternative to motels or campgrounds, consider spending a few nights in one of Vermont's many bed & breakfast inns. Inns Vermont -- www.inns-vermont.com/ -- has a guide, plus its own sampling of visitors' information.
