'A road less traveled...' A great definition for the Jay Peak Area where dirt roads far outnumber paved roads. If you really want to see what Vermont is all about, bring a mountain bike and head for the peaks and valleys. Low gearing and wide tires on mountain bikes can make the hills and uneven surfaces on back roads easy to master.
The rewards for this adventure are numerous panoramic views from high meadows, reaching a clear lake, pond or river just when you were ready for a cool break; having a picnic lunch in the shade of a sugar maple tree. Then enjoy the clean, fresh air and beautiful scenery.
Jay Peak Resort offers x-country mountain biking on their x-country snowmobile trails for more active rides.
The Rail Trail from St. Albans to Richford is a great family ride of some 35 miles of off road travel that can't be beat. Many visitors take the train to St. Albans and then ride to the Jay Peak area using the Rail Trail.
