Midway between Bristol and Waitsfield, VT 17 intersects Gore Road, a local road that leads toward Burlington to the north. The route crosses into Chittenden County, as well as the Camel's Hump State Park, shortly afterward. The route leaves Chittenden County and passes into Washington County later upon traversing the Appalachian Gap, a mountain pass located to the north of Mount Ellen. East of the gap, VT 17 continues through the eastern Green Mountains for to Waitsfield, where it terminates at VT 100.
