This byway runs through Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the remote, lake-dotted northeastern corner of the state that Senator George Aiken famously named for its unspoiled character. It passes glacial lakes like Willoughby, hemmed by cliffs that plunge straight into the water, along with hill farms and tiny villages. The Kingdom is celebrated for some of the most intense and least crowded fall foliage in New England.
