Rainy day? No prob. Part of the Billings Rockefeller National Park, it’s easy to pass the time at the exhibits or communing with the farm animals. Lots of hiking trails too.

Housed in the beautifully restored train station in Windsor, VT, the menu boasts tasty classic and eclectic dishes. If the timing is right, the Amtrak headed to St Albany’s, VT may blow past.

It’s a bit of a distance, (plan on a half hour +), but for authentic Turkish food (and coffee! And Baklava!), it’s worth the drive. A comfortable corner location and aromatic spicy food with excellent service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations a must.
