With their dense forests, the Green Mountains are home to bears, moose, wild turkeys, and deer.
Day 7: Green Mountains - Newport
Leaving Vermont, you'll enter the smallest state in the Union, Rhode Island. Home to spectacular coastal scenery and awe-inspiring architecture, Newport is considered by many a shining gem in the coastal crown of New England. And nowhere is Newport's natural beauty more on display than on its Cliff Walk. Here, between the pounding surf of the Atlantic Ocean and sprawling lawns, sit the famed Gilded Age mansions that once were the summer playgrounds for socialite families such as the Astors and Vanderbilts. Visit one of these opulent mansions for a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the privileged from a bygone era.
