Lyndon
What to Expect:
This short loop starts with two sightings of everyone’s favorite Vermont structures — covered bridges. It then parallels the side of the valley through wooded roads, loops up to the high point and then coasts down the hill back to town. The beginning of the route is on paved roads, but the bulk utilizes pleasant gravel roads.
