Rent some good bikes and do it. Did it with family, youngest is 10. No probkem at all as the entire path is pretty much flat and paved so it is really easy to ride. Beautiful scenery all the way through, and some really magical spots to stop and admire the area.

My husband and I live in southeast Georgia and wanted to go some place beautiful and snowy to celebrate my 60th birthday! Stowe was the perfect choice and Snowmobile Stowe was the highlight! The weather was cold and sunny and could not have been more perfect! In fact, everything was perfect from my initial phone call to schedule, all the way to the end of the back country tour. Our guide, Eli, was so professional, fun, and kind! I only wish the tour would have lasted the entire day! We also enjoyed the pooches, Lil Bit and Lucy! Thanks y’all. We’ll be back!

We drove here on a rainy day in January. We met Audrey the owner who gave us some great background on the syrup production process and we tasted the different grades (lighter delicate flavour and darker stronger flavour) of syrup. Hands down best maple syrup I ever had and we bought some of each type to bring home. Highly recommend a visit here, lovely people and a great product.

This narrow path through thousand-foot cliffs, once a smuggling route into Canada, is now a park used for biking, hiking, picnicking and rockclimbing.
Reviewed By MaryJ071597 - Spokane, United States
We stayed a night in Stowe during the peak color season and this drive was recommended to us. We are so glad we did it. It was gorgeous! We had limited time so we were very disappointed we didn't get to experience more of this area. We made it to Smugglers Notch though and captured some beautiful shots. The road is very winding up there. It was super windy and we watched the leaves getting blown off the trees. We definitey recommend this scenic drive.
