Rte 9 across Southern VT and NH is a nice enough E/W route. There are still many areas impacted by last year’s hurricane Irene damage. Rte 2 across N.MA has a couple of one lane bridges due to this damage. Depending on your objectives, and time of year you are travelling? It’s still very early spring, and VT is dull and brown at any elevation.

Thanks much!

At Williamstown, go north towards Bennington and enjoy southern Vermont.

VT & NH are generally no fail, but the Kancamagus highway is a must. Rte 1 thru ME is awesome with great eating. I generally read the triple D list of places visited and plan that way. ‘ Haven’t ridden much in the other three states but would avoid most MA highways as they’re a free for all. Enjoy.
