What’s your Vermont Anchor Day Type?

Find your Anchor Day Type

Planning a trip shouldn’t feel like a second job. Most people come to Vermont for peace, then end up with too many pins on a map and a day that feels rushed.

Your Anchor Day is the one day you plan well, the day where the pace is right and Vermont actually feels like Vermont.

Answer five quick questions and I’ll match you to your Anchor Day type and give you a simple plan you can copy and use.

It’s 9:00 AM on your first full day in Vermont. What’s in your hand?

A

A paper map and a steering wheel. I want to see where that dirt road goes.

B

A locally roasted latte. I’m heading toward the town green to see the shops.

C

A water bottle and a trekking pole. I want to be on the trail before the crowds.

D

A short list and a coffee. I’ve already picked the top places worth my time.

What does your "dream" Vermont photo look like?

A

A lone covered bridge with mist rising off the river.

B

A table full of cheese, bread, and local cider at a sun-drenched bistro.

C

Me standing at a rocky overlook, looking out at a mountain range.

D

A candid shot of my favorite people actually laughing and looking relaxed.

If you had to pick the "heart" of your day, which sounds most like a win?

A

The Drive. The feeling of discovering a view around every bend.

B

The Village. The charm of a walkable town and a great meal.

The Trail. The quiet of the woods and the reward of the summit.

D

The Flow. A little bit of driving, a little bit of walking, and plenty of pauses.

How do you want to feel when you put your head on the pillow at the end of the day?

A

Like I saw the kind of Vermont most people miss because they’re rushing.

B

Cultured, well-fed, and charmed by the local life.

Physically tired in that "good" way, like I really used my muscles.

Balanced. I saw some things, I ate some things, and I never felt rushed.

Are you a 'grab the wheel and go' type, or would you rather let a local take the lead for a day?

A

DIY, but I need a solid plan.

B

One day fully guided would be amazing!

C

I'm still deciding.
