  • Welcome to Vermont’S Byways the Best Way to Experience Vermont Is to Travel the Roadways That Hug the Mountains and Meet in the Valleys
    www.vermont-byways.us Welcome to Vermont’s Byways The best way to experience Vermont is to travel the roadways that hug the mountains and meet in the valleys. These are the roads that take travelers through Vermont’s forests and farmland to centuries-old villages and towns that today are vibrant hubs of culture, community, commerce and recreation. Vermont’s 10 designated byways range in length from 14 miles to more than 500 miles. An exploration can range from an afternoon or a week, to an entire summer. Whatever the mode of transportation—car, motorcycle, vintage automobile or bicycle—touring byways provides visitors with front-row access to experiencing the intersection of the land, history and community. Museums, art galleries, antique auctions and curio shops seem to pop up everywhere. Trailheads, swimming holes, waterfalls, hikes and valley views are around every bend. Side excursions unearth the sublime—top notch music festivals and outdoor events—to delightfully down-to-earth country diners, farm stands, church suppers, bake sales and vibrant library programs. Themed itineraries jumpstart byway adventures. Look for these icons on each byway description for points of interest by theme. For foodies seeking local flavors,Chews & Brews puts the palate on the road to culinary delight. For those inspired by the artistic and extraordinary, Arts & Culture reveals galleries, museums, studios, and performing arts venues that celebrate the creative spirit. Vermont’s rich legacy of historic resources is as diverse as it is engaging. History & Heritage recommends everything from a 12,000-year-old Native American site to walking tours of historic villages and towns.
