Rte 2 Across Vermont, New Hampshire into Maine

Wondering if anyone has driving this. We'' be coming form Burlington VT heading east bound. Wondering about bridges along the way or any other tidbits that should be made aware of. Considering mid to late October.

Thx

  • Rt2 is a great road to travel on weather a car, MC, RV or even a large truck for the drive takes you across VT, NH and Maine. There will be a few steep hills but nothing really going up or down to be worried about. Also keep you phone ready for some great photos to take along the way. But cell service is sporadic along the way, dead zones..

    Have done Rt 2 a few times, no problems, Know that many, if not most campgrounds in New England close around Columbus Day, I'm sure there may be a few that don't.

  • Many years ago I took it from Maine to NH. It was very doable with a Class A and toad. I do remember where it said "road out ahead" and lo and behold, that is exactly what they meant. The pavement ended and it was just a packed section! That was a shocker. But, a very pretty scenic road. Enjoy.
