Anyone have some good self-guided routes for Vermont?  Solo senior looking for suggestions.

Here's a route around lake Champlain that I've not done but had planned to do this year.  Looks like it might get postponed until next year.

What do you mean by self-guided.  It typically refers to a trip arranged through a tour company that makes accommodations and transports your luggage.

If you mean self-contained/supported, I did this a few years ago:

I parked at the long-term facility (convenient and inexpensive) in Brattleboro and rode north to St. Albans.  Got a motel at the end and in the morning took Amtrak's Vermonter back to my car in Brattleboro.  I can tell you where I camped.  They were all state parks except for the last night on the road, which was spent at a nice municipal campground on the lake in Newport.  Vermont state parks are nice in that many of them have lean-tos for not much more than the cost of a regular site.  Very handy in the event of wet weather.  I only used my rain fly in Newport because I hard lean-tos eleswhere.
