Yes. I think it was about an 11 hour drive to Saratoga Springs on the first day. The second day was about a 7/ 8 hour drive with a detour through White Mountains in New Hampshire. Absolutely stunning fall foliage. I’m from Maine originally and make the drive up a couple of times a year, so it was very nice to take a detour for this trip.

Saratoga is absolutely one of my favorite little cities ever! I would love to do an avoid highways trip from Philly to Lake Placid but I know my other half would murder me an hour in.

Saratoga is so cute. I’d love to go back and spend more time then a quick overnight stopover. Maybe you can compromise and do half the trip off highways. So much to see.

No I went north of Mt. Washington. Here is a link to the route.

Have been on parts of that route. When I come out of NY, I often like to hit up the Rev War battlefields at Crown Point and Ticonderoga before catching Rt. 4 before Killington. A bit bouncy at points, tho.
