Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel website, der online version des bekannten amerikanischen Reisemagazins "Budget Travel" ist neulich ein sehr interessanter und vorallem sehr hilfreicher Artikel über die neun schönsten Autorouten in den USA erschienen.
Die neun Routen wären:
- Vermont Route 100
Stamford, Vermont nach Newport, Vermont , 216 miles
Snaking through the center of Vermont all the way from the Massachusetts border to Canada, Route 100 feels less like a state highway than one long, rambling backcountry path. A strict billboard ban preserves every vista as the road winds between the peaks of Green Mountain National Forest and passes through quaint valley towns like Hyde Park and Weston, population 631. With only farm stands, country stores, and covered bridges breaking up the landscape, you'll consistently feel 200 miles from the 21st century.
Don't miss: The seven-mile stretch through Granville Gulf State Reservation, a favorite for leaf peepers, is also home to the multitiered, 35-foot Moss Glen Falls, which can be seen from the road.
Trip tip: The Vermont Curiosities guidebook ($16) goes beyond foliage, introducing travelers to little-known gems around the state, from roadside barbecue joints to hole-in-the-wall museums.
