Vermont is mostly made up of small towns and that’s just the way we like it.  But sometimes a back road in rural Vermont makes us realize that maybe our little towns are more crowded than we imagined.  Could it be that our own community isn’t as rural as we thought?

Here are some pictures of rural Vermont that may make you feel a little crowded, or, at least, like you want to go exploring the back roads of rural Vermont. Go ahead, take a few unknown turns and see what treasures and scenery you may find!
