The best parts of any Vermont road trip are the unexpected stops and gorgeous scenery along the way. Drive too fast and you’ll miss them, drive too slow and you might be run off the road but, if you time it just right, the drive can be just as awesome as the destination. One stop you’ll want to take is the Hogback Mountain Gift Shop in Marlboro. This wonderful stop has an observation deck that makes the famous 100-mile view in VT accessible to all. Let’s take a look at a few things you’ll find at this roadside stop that is absolutely incredible.

As you travel on the Molly Stark Byway between Brattleboro and Bennington, don't pass by this roadside stop without taking a look.
