- Trapp Family Lodge Outdoor Center - Another fantastic attraction awaits here. No visit to Stowe is complete without stopping by the Von Trapp Family Lodge. It’s the second most popular reason, after skiing, that visitors flock to the area. Nestled on 2500 acres, this Austrian mountain gem is managed by the original Von Trapp family members who inspired the movie The Sound of Music.
- Stowe Mountain Resort - Approaching Stowe’s main resort area, it’s impossible to miss. This is where the gondola departs, but note that its warm weather operation starts in mid-September, coinciding with the peak foliage season.
- Smugglers’ Notch Resort - We will soon reach the entrance to Smugglers’ Notch Resort, Vermont’s third-largest ski resort, also known as America’s Family Resort.
- Stowe Village Massage - The quaint village of Stowe is just ahead, where we will arrive at the junction of Route 100. If we choose to explore the village, we’ll turn left and find parking.
- Cold Hollow Cider Mill - Apple cider is a Vermont specialty, and it’s a must-try while you’re here. A great place for this is coming up soon.
- Cabot - We are in the heart of a food lover’s paradise along Route 100. There are excellent spots to stop and sample some of Vermont’s most beloved culinary delights.
- Waterbury - Approaching the town of Waterbury, known for its famous ice cream tourist spot, there’s another major brand based here that we might enjoy visiting.
- Ben & Jerry’s - Continue straight to reach the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory. As expected, this is a very popular destination and one of the most visited attractions in Vermont. Patience is key here, especially during peak times like summer and foliage season.
- Mad River Valley - It seems we’ve chosen to drive Route 17 to Mad River Glen and perhaps a bit further to the App Gap itself. It’s less than 10 minutes to the Gap, and we’ll pass the ski area beforehand.
- Sugarbush Farm - Known for being one of Vermont’s famous ski resorts, it also offers numerous summer activities for kids of all ages, including the young at heart.
- Warren - Another quirky little town that’s definitely worth a drive-through. Passing through town will bring us back onto this road without missing anything.
- Robert Frost Wayside Trail - The Robert Frost interpretive trail offers a moment of thoughtful, quiet reflection. This road, Route 125, is one of Vermont’s six mountain gaps, popular with the New England cycling community.
- Green Mountain Oasis - Visit the Green Mountain Cafe and Visitor Center. You’ll find the beautifully restored train station, now the Visitor Center, at the end of the first block.
- Calvin Coolidge Homestead - The Notch cemetery, where President Coolidge is buried, is located on Lynn’s Hill Road, coming up on our right. To bypass the cemetery and head directly to the Coolidge homestead, the entrance driveway will be on our left as we round the curve.
- Lake Rescue - One of a series of four lakes, Lake Rescue was renamed from Plymouth Lake in the 1880s.
- Killington - This place is wonderful, and it’s great to be here. It’s about a 4-mile drive to the Base Lodge. We can stop along the way for lunch, a snack, or perhaps a cup of tea or cappuccino.
- Okemo Mountain Resort - On the western side of the road lies the Okemo Mountain Resort, a popular ski area.
- Weston Priory - In a few minutes, we’ll have the chance to make an unexpected stop.
- Londonderry - Following Route 100, the next town is Londonderry. Londonderry, Vermont, was named after Londonderry, New Hampshire, which was named after Londonderry in Northern Ireland.
- Jamaica State Park - For those thoroughly exploring Vermont, a visit to Jamaica State Park is worthwhile.
- Buttermilk Falls - In about a mile, we’ll reach the intersection of Route 100 and Route 103. If it’s particularly hot, a quick visit to Buttermilk Falls might be tempting.
