After they spent millions rebuilding Kelley Stand Road after Hurricane Irene, including blasting it out of the mountain, it's still a narrow, tight, and steep road.

In other words, drive this in the winter if you want to die in the winter.

After hitting a lot of traffic and delays, I finally made it to the Green Mountain National Forest on Kelley Stand Road. A small sign, in part because the road is narrow, as it winds between the mountains.

There are campsites along here, right on the Roaring Branch of the Battenkill, below Whetstone Bluff.
