We took my elderly in-laws on Snake Alley. My mom-in-law said it was the most fun she had had in a very long time. Short but satisfying, and totally worth it!

Snake Alley is a fun detour if you're in the area. Only took 5 minutes on a day when no one was around. Good confidence builder for inexperienced drivers!

Feb. 2019. Very quiet and fun! We parked at the bottom and walked up and then down.

Super cool site! And aside from Snake Alley, Burlington has lots of interesting architecture to look at! Great town to drive through.
