Apple orchards and dairy farms dot this spectacular most-of-a-day scenic ride through Vermont’s land of milk and honey. Look for Shoreham Depot Road about 3 3/4 miles after Whiting a little side trip down there will land you at the Fish & Wildlife parking lot and an easy path out to the 1897 covered railroad bridge, one of only two in the state. Low traffic, constant rolling hills, and distant mountain backdrops make this a well-loved excursion.
