Thought it’d be fun to list your favorite roads to drive on, localized in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont....
Maine;
Shore Road, from York Beach to Ogunquit Maine, a thin, serpentine ribbon of road that follows the rugged rocky coastline of Maine, past the York country club (watch out for golf cart crossings
), speed limit is around 35, and the road has several hairpin corners
Drive to Short Sands, pass the Goldenrod restaurant, and at that intersection bear right, and keep going, best to drive it early morning or late at night to avoid slowpoke tourist traffic, take it slow your first time as some of the corners appear quickly, also, most of the little beaches along the road are private property so don’t stop and sightsee or take photos, it’s a fun, challenging drive
Vermont;
Smugglers Notch Road, THIS road makes Shore Road feel like a multi-lane superhighway, barely 2 cars wide in spots, and with two extreme hairpins that almost loop back on themselves, one next to a huge, sharp boulder, it’s not only narrow but steep, make sure you have a full tank when climbing, as some pitches will cause the tank level to drop
The road is so steep and narrow that they actually close it in the winter, as the state snow plows cannot navigate the road
A thrilling experience, well worth the drive
