Check this road out now! It is in peak! It is a forest service road that runs from Lincoln to Ripton and ends on the Middlebury Gap 125. bm told me about this years ago but I never took the full route and last year we tried to take it and it was closed for work or a washout, forgot which!
Folks, this is a true beauty of a forest road! I am sooooooooooooo glad bm took me on this! It is not a road with long views but runs right thru the Green Mountain Forest. It started out a bit narrow, a dirt road with minor bumps and small ruts especially near the logging trucks that were clearing out a land tract but it is totally manageable with a sedan! The road is windy and simply outstanding! It is a road that is fully canopied throughout and the sun shining into the leaves was unreal. It was quite a long road and we enjoyed every single second of it! No leaves down here! It ended up at the end as a short paved road at 125.
I am so happy we decided to take this road and I hope you can get there soon! One of the most beautiful drives ever! Get there asap as it is peaked!

Thanks Jacky! Hazen's Notch and The Natural Turnpike were two of the best drives in the forests this year. Canopied throughout with peak foliage. Just breathtaking! I am definitely doing the Natural Turnpike next year!
