Is there a quainter ski mountain town in the US?Oh it's got superb skiing and facilities on Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak but it's the picture postcard perfect town center and friendly locals that provide a unique reprieve from citylife for most visitors.But believe it or not, Stowe's busiest time is the summer when visitors flock for activities like hiking, golf, rockclimbing, biking and ziplining.Stowe is also a favorite location for the amazing Fall foliage show and leaf peepers arrive from all over the world to enjoy the amazing colors.

Smugglers Notch (pass by)

What is a notch? Well that depends on where you are from. It's the lowest point in a mountain range. In the South you'll probably call it a gap, in the West it's a pass.So Smugglers Notch represents the path between the Green Mountains and Sterling Range. Anything from goods, livestock and liquor was transported and even slaves escaping to Canada used this route.Smugglers Notch is a fun and scenic part of our drive and actually follows RT108 between Stowe and Jeffersonville which is the northern end point (or start point) of our tour route.
