What's one great thing to see for someone passing through Vermont
I will be taking a motorcycle trip through the northeast US and will be passing through. We won't have a whole lot of spare time but we want to make a stop in each state. So, what is one thing in Vermont that we should absolutely see/do/eat. I found results on Google, but wanted…

What are some great/fun things to do around Vermont for someone with limited mobility due to MS? (still able to walk with assistance)
There's Moss Glen Falls, a road side waterfall in Granville that has a parking lot off VT 100 and very short walk with some handrails (wood so not super easy to grip like a round rail but still nice) so you can easily see a nice waterfall without having to hike super far.
🚗 Limited Parking
Parking is very limited (around 6 spots). Be courteous and don't linger too long.
🚫 No Amenities
Don't expect restrooms or shops. It's a natural stop, so plan accordingly.

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the roadside falls beautiful and a charming, natural stop with quaint paths. However, the closed bridge limits access and creates safety concerns on the narrow footpath, and the lack of amenities is noted. +1
"Very lovely waterfall. Unfortunately bridge was out of action but we made our way to see it within the road barriers."

"Right off 100 east access, trail and bridge is closed due to storm damage, there is access along the road and walking across the rocks but honestly not really needed, viewed from the road is good unless you plan on swimming!"

"Absolutely gorgeous! Think quaint paths, babbling brooks, wooden bridge, beautiful views. Great spot for a photo op. When we went there was noone else there. No cost to enter. Simple and beautiful (This isn't a touristy spot. Dont expect gift shops, or tshirts, etc) Only about 6 parking spots and no bathrooms. You CAN see the falls from the road while driving past. Minimal walking. Not a swim spot. We did everything there was to do in about 10 minutes. We didnt know about it before stopped so it was a surprise on our trek but it was the highlight of our whole day!!!"
