Advise on daily tours
For those of you who are familiar with these areas, would it be possible to cover the following areas?
Day 1 arriving at approx. noon in Stowe
Toll road drive up to Mt. Mansfield
Drive up Route 108 to Smuggler's Notch
Day 2 pwt54's past loop recommendation:
Stowe to route 58 east in Lowell then 58 east all the way to end at route 5A South in Westmore 5A south past Lake Willoughby to end at Route US5 north in West Burke US 5 north to Barton 16 South to route 15 in Hardwick 15 back to 100 then South to Stowe ( Would this loop be in Northeast Kingdom? How will the foliage be in this loop?)
Day 3 Head South for Killington via Route 100S (have reserved lodging there)
Stop at Moss Glen Falls Texas Falls Gifford Woods State Park
Day 4 Gondala ride or drive up Mt Killington
Woodstock loop via Route 100,100A to Route 4 Pick up Route 12 then Rochester Mountain Road; return to Killington via Route 100
Day 5 Departing
Londondery on Route 100
Take Mountain loop 100S right onto Route 11 to Route 30 and back to Route 100
Any covered bridges in these areas? Maple cremee?
Thanks in advance for any advise some of you may be able to provide. We are concerned with current foliage reports. Hope to hear more progress as week and temperatures unfold.

Your schedule looks good to me. Green Mountain Sugarhouse on route 100 between Killington and Ludlow has great maple cree-mees.
Re: Advise on daily tours
Thanks pwt54 for your reviewing things we hope to accomplish while in Vermont Very grateful for the advise! It seems there are many things along Route 100 Was not sure we could do all we wanted as outlined each day due to time restraints and mileage to cover. One thing some of us out of state need clarification on is the term "Northeast Kingdom"
Read so much about it but not sure what routes or boundary lines lead you to the Northeast Kingdom. If you do not get far enough Northeast in Vermont, do you still get good colors mentioned that can be found up there, elsewhere? Is it a specific area with Routes and specific towns to drive to or is is a general area in the Northeast of Vermont? Would you or someone explain how not to miss the Northeast Kingdom? Is it nearby or within a drive from Route 100 North?
Again, thanks for all the tips and advise.

Thanks Innkeeperseymourlakelodge for explaining what one means when referring to the Northeast Kingdom. With the colors at their peak can only imagine how beautiful Vermont is up there!
Will keep checking the forum daily for encouraging updates on the foliage! Grateful for all the generous folks who have taken time to share advise and updates on the forum!! Again, thanks!

The maple trees are the ones with the red and orange leaves. We have maples all over the State. The Northeast Kingdom is a mythical place in Vermont. We believe that when you croos over to the east of Route US 5 and north of Route US 2 you go back 50 years in time. It's close.
