If you like to do different things, to get off the beaten track, to do the unusual, the extraordinary, you won't be disappointed. Whether it's seeing the breathtaking views from Killington or Pico summit, enjoying the thrill of descending from summit to base by alpine slide, or cheering the modified racers at Devil's Bowl Speedway, it's all there for you with the fresh air and multi-shades of Vermont green as a backdrop.
Covered bridges are one of the enduring symbols of Vermont's past.
Yet they remain practical and functional today. They were built to protect the bridge from exposure to the rigors of winter. They also allowed horses to cross without being spooked by the flowing water below. There is an old superstition that says you should hold your breath whenever you pass through a covered bridge. There are many historic covered bridges and other points of interest for your enjoyment at the Crossroads of Vermont.
