Instructions:
[Estimated
Mileage: 57.6 Miles]
You will start this trip from at Exit 11 of I-91 [White River
Junction/Woodstock] and head West on Route 4 toward Quechee Gorge and
Woodstock. Quechee Gorge, is commonly referred to as Vermont's Grand
Canyon. You can park and view it from the bridge spanning the gorge...
or, you can take a foot trail down to the base of the gorge. Just
remember that you need to make it back up. This
large tri-span, spandrel-braced, deck arched bridge is 285' tong, 41'
wide, and sits 163' above the dramatic setting of the Ottauquechee
River.
When leaving the Gorge, continue to head West on Route 4. A very
short distance down the road you'll see a sign pointing to Quechee - the
Village. You will make a right turn on Watermanhill Road, and within a
minute or two cross a small covered bridge into Quechee - a great place
for lunch or dinner and to browse through Simon Pearce.
Now, back to Route 4 heading West toward Woodstock, often called
"the prettiest small town in America." This is a place of
unique shops and galleries, artisan studios, country stores and fine
restaurants.
Back on the road still heading
West. The Bridgewater Mill in Bridgewater is another stop you may wish
to consider. This converted mill is now home to a number of
shops. Continue West until the intersection of Route 100A on your
left. Turn on to 100A [a beautiful road] and you'll soon come to
the entrance of The
Calvin Coolidge Homestead [A State Historic Site] in Plymouth
Notch. This is an entire little village and definitely worth a
visit whether you are a history buff or not!
When leaving, continue heading
South on Route 100A till it intersects with Route 100. Turn left on
Route 100 [South] toward Ludlow, Vermont. This is an absolutely
beautiful drive along the western banks of five lakes.
When you reach the Intersection
of Routes 100 &103 turn left through Ludlow, continuing on Route
103.
At the Intersection of Routes 103
&131 turn left on to Route 131. Another beautiful
drive.! This time along the bank of the Black River and on to
I-91.
