Written Directions

Start out in the town of Waitsfield and take Route 100 south for a short mile and then get on Route 17 heading west. You'll Pass Mad River Glen ski area. Continue on to the town of South Starksboro (end). About a 15 mile trip.

Scenery

Beautiful country, mountains everywhere...and the twisties, amazing! Along the way you'll pass through the Camel's Hump State Forest.

Drive Enjoyment

Pretty good. They just re-paved a small section that was very questionable, so the road conditions improved greatly. Couple of bumps here and there, but good overall. Watch out for sand around MarchApril.

Tourism Opportunities

Plenty to see. Nice spot at the picnic table. Good resting area up top. Great hiking too.

Rode it in 2019 : Great twisties , would be great if only pavement was not potholes after potholes and frost heaves and snakes , cracks in the road. Really bad.
