2
Trapp Family Lodge Outdoor Center
There's another great attraction here that I know will enjoy. No trip to Stowe is complete without a visit to the Von Trapp family Lodge. It's the second biggest reason after skiing that visitors come to the area. Situated on 2500 acres this Austrian mountain beauty is run by members of the original Von Trapp family that inspired the movie The Sound of Music.
3
Stowe Village Massage
The cozy village of Stowe is just ahead, where we will come to the junction of Route 100. If we decide to explore the village a bit we’ll turn left and go find parking.
4
Cabot
We are right in the middle of my favorite food lover's stretch of Route 100. There are some great places to stop and sample more of Vermont's most loved food delicacies here.
5
Waterbury
We are getting close to the town of Waterbury. One of Waterbury’s more famous tourist spots involves ice cream, but there is another mega brand business based here as well that we might also enjoy visiting.
6
Mad River Valley
It looks to me like we've decided to drive Route 17 to Mad River Glen and maybe even a little further to the App Gap itself. Its less than 10 minute to the Gap, and we'll see the ski area before that.
7
Sugarbush Farm
One of Vermont's more famous ski resorts, but there are also lots of summer activities for kids of every age, even the really old kids like me.
8
Warren
It's another quirky little town and definitely worth the drive through. Driving through town will bring us back onto this road and we won't miss anything.
9
Robert Frost Wayside Trail
The Robert Frost interpretive trail for a little thoughtful, quiet time. I love it. This road will be traveling on right now, route 125 is one of the six mountain gaps or mountain passages of Vermont and very popular with the New England bicycle riding community.
10
Green Mountain Oasis
Visit the Green Mountain Cafe and Visitor Center. You'll see the beautifully restored train station that's now the Visitor Center, and it's at the end of the first block.
11
Calvin Coolidge Homestead
The Notch cemetery where President Coolidge is buried is located on Lynn's Hill Road, coming up on our right. To skip the cemetery and go directly to the Coolidge homestead, we'll see the entrance driveway on our left as we round the curve.
12
Killington
That's great, I lovethis place, thanks for bringing me along. It'll be about a 4 mile drive to the Base Lodge. We can stop along the way and grab some lunch or a snack, or maybe a cup of tea or a cappuccino.
13
Weston Priory
In a couple of minutes, we'll have the opportunity to make a stop that you might not have been expecting today.
14
Londonderry
The next town, as we follow Route 100 is going to be the town of Londonderry. Londonderry, Vermont, got its name from Londonderry, New Hampshire, which got its name from Londonderry in Northern Ireland.
15
Jamaica State Park
For travelers doing a thorough exploration of Vermont, it might be nice to take some time to visit Jamaica State Park.
16
Buttermilk Falls
In just about a mile will be coming to the intersection of Route 100 and Route 103. If it's a particularly hot day, I might be able to tempt you with a quick visit to Buttermilk Falls.

The narration was clear and helpful. There were so many details about Vermont and the towns along the route that we would never have known without this guide. Most of the time it worked well with the narration beginning at the right times. After the trip, we went back and listened to the stories about the places we didn't go to. Having the text is very handy as well.

I ran across this tour when I was looking for places to visit in Vermont. It was our first trip there and a bucket list state but didn't know where to start except we picked staying off Hwy. 100. We flew into Albany, NY and headed east towards the start of the tour, left the tour for a bit to check in our hotel (Woodstock, VT) and went out the next morning for the northern portion of the tour. We liked the fact that there was additional information about Vermont and all the recommended stops. We stopped at some and not others. It is your choice and that is nice. For such a great price you get the tour on an app on your phone and as you approach an area, the narrator begins to talk and there are photos of the place being discussed. We used Car Play so even my husband who was driving could quickly glance at what I was seeing on my phone. We plan on buying more of these tours in the future and I already recommended to a couple of friends.

Lori, I’m delighted that my Vermont RT 100 Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour made your first trip to Vermont such a memorable experience. I’m glad you found the additional information and recommended stops useful and that the flexibility to choose where to stop worked well for you. Just a quick note—I think you might have meant your car stereo instead of CarPlay, as our tour doesn’t support that feature, but I’m glad it enhanced your experience. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to me. If you’re ready for more adventures, my 100+ Self-Guided Driving & Walking Tours by Action offer the same great experience across many destinations. Happy exploring!
