"The Notch is a very steep and winding 3.5-mile long highway that squeezes down to one lane to pass between two boulders. At points, the cliffs on either side of the road stand at 1,000 feet, towering over drivers below. The road is closed in winter due to the perilous driving conditions - closures usually occur as soon as the first time it snows in late October and do not reopen until sometimes as late as mid-May. This meandering road is not just a stunning sight, but also has a fascinating history. Hidden from view by the monumental cliffs on either side, Smugglers' Notch was historically used for various secretive enterprises. When President Thomas Jefferson placed an embargo on all trade with Great Britain and Canada in the early 1800s, Vermonters who depended on business with Montreal for their livelihoods used the Notch to smuggle goods across the border. The Notch was also frequently used by fugitive slaves who were escaping the United States searching for freedom in Canada. Finally, during Prohibition, bootleggers used the Notch as a way to smuggle liquor from their northern neighbors into the country. "
