00:00Vermont has introduced a new way for cyclists to explore its green mountains.
00:04The heart of the Greens Loop covers 38 miles through rugged wilderness.
00:08The route opened in 2024 as the first completed part of the planned Velomont network.
00:14When finished, Velomont could stretch 485 miles across the entire state.
00:19The current loop includes nearly 6,000 feet of total climbing.
00:23Riders travel across gravel roads, mountain trails, and remote forest terrain.
00:28Two off-grid huts provide basic shelter along the route.
00:31Most cyclists can complete the loop in one to three days.
00:34The challenging terrain means thick tires, supplies, and plenty of preparation are essential.
00:40The project could eventually connect more Vermont communities through long-distance bikepacking.
