Smuggler's Notch, Smuggler's Notch VT

Although 10 minutes from Stowe by the Notch, it's a long 45 minute haul from the south in the winter because the notch is closed.

If you get a chance, take a lunch break at the hut on top of the hill. However, plan accordingly because there are no restrooms available (as of 2005), but you may get the opportunity to dine on venison stew - quite yummy.
