Ride starts out circling beautiful Lake George in New York and heads into Vermont and just as beautiful Green Mountain National Forest! Lots of vistas, pretty farms and photo ops. Mountain ranges, rolling hills, forests and valleys. Travels through Green Mountain National Forest. Covered bridge after covered bridge. It almost gets redundant. Lots and lots of cows, and farms. From a scenery standpoint, I've been on many scenic drives and this by far is the one that always will be remembered as a unmatched classic.
Towns/Cities You'll Pass By/Through
Tiny towns, not a lot of stops for shops, except in Manchester, which is quite a pretty town. Other towns are worth exploring to but I have to admit that I was reluctant to pull over and check them out as the scenery kept me wanting to stay on the road and seeing more. Road quality is fine, though you'll encounter lots of hills, though not a lot of sharp turns ... it is just really relaxing.
Attractions & Points-of-Interests Along the Way
You travel through the Green Mountain National Forest for a hunk of this ride. There's clusters of antique shops, and enough places to stop and gas up, or grab a nosh; to satisfy your needs. Note: One thing we noted was how much more depressed the rural areas of New York are, as opposed to Vermont. Same sort of farmland, and terrain, but a vast difference in quality of life for the farmers. Vermont really promotes family farms, and it shows.
