Understanding Vermont's "Stack the States" Challenge

Vermont's "Stack the States" challenge is a geography-based game that encourages visitors to learn about the state's diverse regions and attractions. The goal is to visit and collect a sticker from each of Vermont's 14 counties, thereby "stacking" them like a deck of cards. This interactive journey not only helps you explore the state but also fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of its unique character.
