One Day in Burlington, Vermont (Biking the Island Line Trail, Coffee, & BBQ!)

For our next Vermont adventure we spent a day exploring Burlington, which is the largest city in the state and is located right on Lake Champlain. We visited the charming Church Street Marketplace, grabbed coffee that supports an amazing cause, biked across part of the lake, and enjoyed some tasty BBQ. It was a great day in this beautiful city!

I've driven 4.5 million miles across this big beautiful country for the last 40 years.. The fall color is spectacular and never fails to amaze me! It's a yearly thing for me to crisscross the new England states , upstate new York, then down thru the eye 81 corridor. Always a memory worth the traffic. This country is so diverse!! Get out and explore all you can and make those memories!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We definitely had better luck up in NE Vermont! And in NH!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are in love with the NE in the fall! It is so magical with the colors!

[@robertjewell9727]

That was you two at Perky Planet!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Did you see us there?! We loved Perky Planet!

[@chrislavallee1988]

For those wondering what is on the other side of the bike ferry in the Champlain Islands - it's flat, picturesque farmland with little traffic and more amazing views of the lake. There are a couple of apple orchards to visit with all the typical fall goodies. Plus Snow Farm Vineyards is a great stop in the Islands - they do live music on Thursday nights during the summer with about 500-1,000 people dancing in the field! The rest of Vermont is very hilly, so this is one of the more bikeable areas in the State and the people are as friendly as can be. Also, it's a fun place to spot art projects - there are about a dozen or so miniature stone castles built (one is at the house next to Snowfarm) and there is a forest filled with hundreds of colorful birdhouses and even some dinosaur statues (also near Snowfarm). The islands are worth a casual day trip!

[@no3ll3.]

The bikes look so fun! Brussels sprouts are one of the most underrated veggies, in my opinion. So many people won't even try them because they have this bad memory from childhood. I'm roasting some tonight for dinner with a squash! I feel like you can't go wrong with burnt ends, it all looked great.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

They are so dang good! Especially roasted! My body unfortunately hates them, which makes me so sad, but it was worth it this time haha

Always so happy to see you tubers who visit our area and get outside of Burlington to enjoy places like the causeway! Also so happy you guys were able to check out the Perky Planet as they had a really rough time during the pandemic as it coincided with some major road work that blocked the street up a lot and hid this little gem away.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are so happy we could visit Perky Planet! We love their mission and it makes us sad to know that they had a construction hurdle on top of the difficulties the pandemic has brought to businesses. We hope they can come back stronger than ever! 💪🏼

But it was lovely getting to see a snap shot of Burlington again. I wish so much that I'd had the time/flexibility to cycle the lake shore, it looked stunning in your video - did it good justice there! Really liked Perky Planet Coffee. My other half is incredibly hard of hearing and he recognises that with his job, he's lucky that it's not too much of a burden, but having an employer like Perky Planet Coffee who will think through the design of spaces to make a workplace work for an employee is just the best. I spotted Starbucks in your B-roll shots - it's got nothing on it! So pleased to see you guys are being recognised by Best Western again with the hotel - it looks GORGEOUS!!! Can't wait for the colours to change a little more. They're starting to turn over here at the moment, but not quite peak yet!

You could definitely explore Vermont from here. Stowe, Montpelier, and the green mountains aren’t far, and the Adirondacks could be a long day trip (if the ferry is running it would be easier to get to, it wasn’t running for us). But the white mountains in NH (if you want to go there, highly recommend it!), would be about 2 hours each way, so that may be tough. But there is a ton to see in Vermont alone!

[@teresap.5991]

Looks like Autumn hasn't exactly peaked up there yet either. I live in Southwest Pennsylvania and half of our leaves are brown and falling off the only colors I'm seeing are yellow and every here and there a red but very rare. Last fall and the one before were absolutely gorgeous here. I'm bummed. I feel ripped off. Great video guys ‼️ okay just read your pinned comment now I understand why hardly any fall colors. One year we did a tour of Vermont New Hampshire and New York while the colors were peaked and it was the most breathtaking vacation. Lol L

I had a terrible attitude and told my wife it was one of the worst things we'd ever done. She cried. Total fail on my part, lol!

Oh no! Hahaha that sounds VERY hard to pull that! Although your son and dog probably enjoyed the ride. Hopefully you can try again on a nice day!

[@Gity444]

I'm pretty sure the same person designed Burlington and Boulder....down to alot of street names!

[@SchoandJo]

If you don’t stay for the credits you miss the best parts 😂😂 Maybe we need to affix a ping pong table on Pivot temporarily 😄

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

😂😂😂 Most of the balls would probably go into the Chesapeake lol! But at least the other boaters will get a show 😜

[@JC-uv5bj]

Awesome video! Where does Kona stay when he is not with you guys?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

This blog posts covers how we travel with Kona and what we do with her when she can't come on hikes and adventures! adventuresofaplusk.com/full-time-van-life-with-a-dog-tips-for-traveling-with-a-dog/ Thanks and thanks for watching!

Pearl Street Mall and Church Street were both designed by the same people, hence the similarity.

[@rodneydraper9175]

Next time you’re here come and visit in the summer and go swimming at Caspian lake or just come watch the sunset there

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for the tip!

[@brucelarrow7897]

We haven’t had nearly enough water this year

[@gisellet6903]

Heading to Burlington in the next few weeks. Wondering how long the bike rode took…

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The bike ride took 3-4 hours if I remember correctly. But we’re not the best to gauge off of. We stop often to film and take lots of photos so it will take us longer. It’s a beautiful ride! Be sure to check out our website where we have guides and itineraries for Vermont and New England! Thanks for watching and we hope you have a great trip!

[@gisellet6903]

@@AdventuresofAplusK Perfect!! Thank you 😊

[@cheryl814]

Where did the bicycle path start? Thank you.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We started by Local Motion Bike Rentals in Burlington www.localmotion.org/island_line_trail_map Thanks for watching!

[@sharonteeters6703]

Are you guys going to Stowe, Vermont? I heard they have a nice fall foliage over there?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That'll be our next video 😃 But we were a bit too early for super colorful foliage. We will have some awesome foliage to share soon though!

[@sharonteeters7139]

Can’t wait! Never been there, and it’s already in my bucket list. 😍

[@Tornnnado]

Vermont gang wya

[@Any.....]

Something you may not know is that right above Ben and Jerry's on church street you will find fellow creator Unnecessary Inventions' studio. Hopefully you drive the notch in Stowe while you're here!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh cool! And we didn’t drive the notch due to our large van size and hearing it wasn’t good for larger vehicles, but we got to see lots of beautiful scenery just driving around town!

[@karlamaynor5544]

Had to stop in the first couple of minutes. Is that one of the original Ben and Jerry's behind you?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I don’t think it’s the original, but we know it did start in Burlington!

[@811JKLM]

Are you planning on going to Ben & Jerry's ice vream factory while there?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We skipped it this time since they aren’t offering tours and we can get their ice cream anywhere.

[@lanceguzman8096]

Can you jump in on the trail closer to the lake?

[@camdenbean378]

The pearl street mall in Boulder was designed by the same person as church street. I visited Boulder and had to look up who designed it because they looked THE SAME

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We didn’t realize that!

[@JonathanBourneEsq]

Fun Fact for A+K: The Church Street Marketplace in Burlington was designed by the same firm that's responsible for the pedestrian malls in Santa Cruz and the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. (I grew up in Burlington)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I feel like I read that somewhere! Thanks for sharing that! We really really enjoyed Burlington and all of Vermont!

[@brucelarrow7897]

I am sorry you saw the lake when it was really low

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It looked nice to us!

[@brucelarrow7897]

We have been in drought conditions for two years that causeway usually has more water on the swamp side

[@ChrisG-so8th]

To quote Adam, "Vermont is awesome!" 100% Correct!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It’s so true!

[@sabrinatheteenagedbitch3248]

as someone who lives in VT it’s so weird to see people coming for vacations

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It's a beautiful state, so it's no surprise it's so loved!

[@stevefowler8660]

What no Ben and Jerry’s? A shout out to Phish would be nice.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Since we can get Ben & Jerry's at any grocery store in the US, we’d rather focus on places we cannot get anywhere else.
