I’m driving a 2003 31’ Minnie Winnie motorhome and towing a small Honda Fit back to Vermont. To avoid the really steep mountains in Vermont crossing over from New York up near Albany I was planning to pick up the Mass turnpike off I-87 and go east then picking up I-91 to head north. Are there any mountains to speak of on the turnpike? I understand the Turnpike will add time due to its direction but the mountains are my main concern. Any other concerns I should aware of? Thanks

Hills only.drive it regularly as we go across NY on 90 to visit kids in Boston. No memorable hills.

Necessary to travel at this time? Otherwise, stay put. Mountains are easy compared to the Corona virus. It’s deadly.

Go have fun, tell us what you thought.Bill

Yes necessary . Going home after 4 months south and need to get to our medical providers.

There are some hills going east on the Pike from NY, nothing major, but they are kinda steady and then rolling. Last hill is 6 miles downhill before West Springfield. Perhaps some one can chime in, but what about going east on 84 to 91? It's been years since I traveled this w/ my company and want to say there were some GOOD hills at first, then leveled out. Depending on where you live in VT, 87 above Albany is a easy drive w/ just a couple small inclines until you get to Lake George. Jump off at exit 20 and head towards Whitehall/Fair Haven. Pick up 22A north to Burlington. Easily done w/ your rig.BUT going east anywheres in VT from the west and you'll have hills no matter what.
