This Is the Longest Highway in Vermont-and It's the Most Beautiful Fall Foliage Road Trip in New England

"At 146 miles in length, Route 100 is the longest highway in Vermont-and it's also one of the most iconic and quintessential fall drives in the Green Mountain State. The road runs through the geographic heart of Vermont, from Massachusetts to the Canadian border, and cuts through the iconic Green Mountain range. The history of the road dates back to 1937, and it's just one of 10 federally designated scenic byways in Vermont."

"Waterfalls are an especially beautiful sight during winter-sometimes, when the weather is cold enough, the water freezes as it leaps off the rocky ledges. Thundering Brook Falls Trail in Killington is a short but worthwhile hike. Up north in Stowe, Vermont, you will find the tallest waterfall in the state at Moss Glen Falls, which towers above the forest floor at 85 feet."

Route 100 runs 146 miles through the geographic heart of Vermont from Massachusetts to the Canadian border, cutting through the Green Mountain range. The road dates to 1937 and is one of ten federally designated scenic byways in Vermont. Billboards are banned statewide, preserving uninterrupted scenic beauty along the route. The corridor is nicknamed "The Skier's Highway" for numerous ski resorts and is often called "Vermont's Main Street" for its charming small towns. Popular activities include hiking, swimming in seasonal holes, and visiting waterfalls—Thundering Brook Falls (Killington), Moss Glen Falls (85 feet, Stowe), Okemo State Forest trails, and Buttermilk Falls.
