New England / Foliage - Fall

Last year we flew in to Boston drove up to Vermont for a week, hit it perfect on first week of October. According to the locals that’s the exact sweet spot more often than not. Actually watched the reds fall later that week and snow in forecast when we left. I highly recommend the Stowe area for a few days if you’re mobile. Have fun

We been a couple times and as mentioned it depends on the weather and conditions. Only once have we hit peak conditions.

That year (1997) we drove from Boston up to Bar Harbour (Acacia NP) and then from there down thru New Hampshire & Vermont. The whole drive was spectacular as far as color. We stopped in St. Johnsbury, VT to find a place to stay and everything was full. We went to the visitor center, and they told us everything within a three-hour drive was booked solid. But this happened often in peak foliage season and there were people in town that opened their houses to visitors. The couple in front of us heard this and walked out; we said we would give it a shot. Us and another couple ended up staying with a couple in ST. Johnsbury. He was a State Farm agent who had actually been to BR to help with hurricane Andrew claims.

Thanks!

Wife and I did the same in 2024, it was beautiful. We picked apples at an orchard and drove to Canada just for the hell of it as well. That is a great area that time of year.
