ワシントン郡のおすすめツーリングルート

For now, at least, this section of the Cross-Vermont Trail overlaps with Route 2. At least you have the pretty Winooski River for company!

A nice stretch of gravel road — nothing stressful to ride. It ties into the Cross-Vermont Trail and the Montpelier Bike Trail.

This is a highly walkable town (population about 5,300) that caters to foodies and outdoors enthusiasts. High points include the local shops, restaurants, mountain biking trails and the nearby Waterbury Reservoir, a few miles north of the road.

This ride is about as idyllic as it can get, following an old railbed (translation: almost no incline gain/loss) through what's now a dirt doubletrack through the trees. Make sure to stay on the trail and pay attention to any posted access warnings.

The Winooski West Path is a 2.6-mile paved multiuse trail that follows along the scenic Winooski River through a mix of forest and urban landscapes. This trail is perfect for walking, biking, and running, as it's mostly flat with views of the water the entire way. It's easily accessible from downtown, making it an ideal spot for a relatively short hike—whether you're taking a lunch break or simply want to spend an hour enjoying a stroll along the beautiful waterfront.

Great Eddy is the oldest covered bridge still in operation in Vermont. It was built in 1833 and to this day is one of the main routes in and out of Waitsfield.

The trees clear out near the top of 1207-foot Barnes Hill, giving you some nice views of the landscape around you. It's a nice climb to get up here, but no so bad that you need quads of steel to make it.
