Pictures of Vermont Route 108 Smugglers Notch

[Deanna777]

Here are 2 pictures of Smugglers notch (Vermont) Route 108,

Mike and I went on this route to Jeffersonville, VT. on Sunday 5/24/15. The first picture in the background in orange letters Sign Says" No Tractor Trailers Beyond this point" because the curves are very narrow, and they get hung up.

Their is a very large rock near the road so you can not see what is on the other side( cars) so you have to wait and let the other car come thru. They close this road in the winter. This is a very popular road for tourist, people do a lot of hiking. This road is awesome for spyders, a lot of twisties near the top, it is pretty in the fall. 2nd picture is part of the mountain this is on the back side of Smugglers Notch heading toward Stowe, Vt.

I have not done this yet with my Can Am but have done it with every bike I have owned.Will do this summer.It will definitely be different than doing it on my two wheelers.Gets closed in winter.You can not imagine how busy this road gets in summer.People walking, cars bumper to bumper and barely enough room to to get past a lot of bad drivers.

If a tractor trailers/or tour buses gets stuck, they have to close the road, then reopen it after they get the tractor trailer or tour bus taken care of. This road is scenic, there is a pull off at top of the mountain. Deanna

Yes they are not allowed.Signs say that but every year you do get a few people even towing trailers trying to get through there.

We rode that route many years ago, 1994 I believe. I remember the curves going up the mountain. Coming down was an experience as well. Deb and I will have to do it again sometime soon.
