One of Vermont’s most photogenic waterfalls, Moss Glen Falls is just a quick pull-off from Route 100. A short boardwalk leads to a stunning cascade that’s beautiful in every season—lush in summer, fiery with foliage in fall, and even dramatic in winter’s freeze.

➡️ 1 hour 20 minutes north of COHO

📍 2. Ben & Jerry’s Factory – Waterbury

A Vermont classic! The Ben & Jerry’s Factory offers a sweet detour where you can learn how the iconic ice cream is made, sample new flavors, and even pay your respects in the Flavor Graveyard. Fun, quirky, and delicious—this is a stop everyone remembers.

➡️ 1 hour 45 minutes north of COHO
