Vermont is beautiful enough from street level, but if you’ve ever had the opportunity to see the Green Mountain State from the sky, all I can say is: wow. In these spectacular aerial photos from 802Aerial you can see the great expanse of the Vermont countryside, bridges and mountains. Here are 12 awesome aerial shots of Vermont and a bonus video exploring Vermont from a bird’s eye view.

  1. Bolton Access Road.

802Aerial The Bolton Access Road is always a wild ride, but the hues of the autumn foliage light the roads on fire with color.

  1. Colchester Marina.

802Aerial Just look at the view from above the Colchester Marina. Spectacular!

  1. Waterbury Reservoir.

802Aerial This majestic place is wonderful for camping, day beaching, picnics, boating and checking out the world from above.

  1. Ethan Allen Boat.

802Aerial This lone boat on the vast lake strikes a powerful image.

  1. The Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge.

802Aerial This covered bridge in Wolcott was built in 1908 and formerly carried the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad over the Lamoille River. At some point in its existence, it was threatened with demolition in favor of a steel truss. A pier was built under the bridge, and four steel girders were built to support the bridge’s load.

  1. Long Trail Suspension Bridge.

802Aerial This isn’t a place to cross if you have a fear of heights, but the view from above is breathtaking - and it technically gets you even higher!

  1. Burlington Shipyard.

802Aerial Whether you’re at the shipyard, paddling away on Lake Champlain or enjoying the mountain views from the shore, this is a view that’s truly breathtaking.

  1. Railroad Bridge.

  1. Sunset over Burlington.

  1. Taftsville Covered Bridge.

802Aerial This view from above shows the Taftsville Covered bridge, which was severely damaged from the Hurricane Irene in August 2011 but managed to stay intact. It remained closed for repairs for two years until September 2013.

  1. Burlington Waterfront.

802Aerial Strong and sturdy, the gorgeous Lake Champlain is full of wonder. Maybe you’ll even spot Champ!
