What to pack

What May feels like

The Vermont City Marathon takes the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and shuts down half of Burlington in the best way. Blackflies own the woods from late May into June, so save the deep-woods hiking or bring something for your neck.

Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
