Stick Season in Vermont

Most people who live in Vermont know all about stick season, that stark yet beautiful time of year between late October and early December.

Stick season is usually pretty quiet around Vermont since the leaves are mostly gone and the snow has yet to fall. But for a variety of reasons, locals tend to love the the serenity and comfort of this underrated season.

  1. I like that term - stick season. With blue skies & mild temperatures, there is something to be said for November - it can certainly be a peaceful time. Thanks

  6. Beautiful photos. There is something surreal about the bare trees and a clear sky. We aren't there yet, but it will not be long.
