Most of the pictures above are from RT 108 between Jeffersonville and Stowe, Vermont. Rt 17 is an amazing road - I love it. Beware of gravel early in the year or after a rain - the auto traffic doesn't clear the road completely of sand used in winter.

This is the most fun road in the Northeast, rivaling roads here in my new home, Southern California. Make an epic loop out of Rt 17 by heading west and then south on Rt 116. Take that to Middlebury and head back east on 125, finally to rt 100, where you'll take that back up to Waitsfield and the start of rt 17 again. When I left VT, these roads were in great shape, and I'm sure the scenery is still as beautiful as ever!
