Fantastic Fall foliage tours.
While all of the changing leaves of fall are vibrant and gorgeous, you’re most likely to see the best range of colors if you plan your tour to include a varied route. And remember that you’re dealing with Mother Nature, who can be very unpredictable.
I think fall color at the Quabbin is much more appealing than bumper to bumper traffic on the Mohawk Trail. You can also take a spectacular foliage tour from our Millinocket resorts to nearby Baxter State Park for breathtaking foliage views. Regardless, the area offers beautiful views and multiple recreational activities. The Cannon Aerial Tramway is an 80-passenger tram that takes visitors above the timberline to the 4200-foot Cannon Mountain summit for outstanding views stretching into Maine, Vermont and even Canada.
Burlington is a really nice home base that’s convenient to many terrains (and hence degrees of foliage) in northern VT. It also as the advantage of a decent airport, that’s ~3 miles from the scenic downtown and waterfront areas. Early fall colors tend to be more brilliant at higher altitudes and farther north, like northern New England, Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains, Michigan, and the Rockies. Later, fall color tends to be more intense in the Canadian Maritimes, the Berkshires, and southern New England, as well as farther south in regions from Virginia to the Ozarks.
Remember, New England fall foliage tours attract millions of people from not only all over the country, but from all over the world. It is not unusual to run into not only many Europeans in autumn in the region, but people from even the Far East! Here, enjoy an island tour of sweeping vistas. Visit the historic whaling town of Edgartown with its narrow streets and elegant homes.
And remember that you’re dealing with Mother Nature, who can be very unpredictable. Our city tour will try to relive some of these events. This tour features a number of spectacular train rides in all four states that begins and ends in Boston.
This is an easy one-mile hike to a summit with unparalleled views over Squam Lakes and the entire Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The entrance to the Old Bridle Path trail can be a bit tricky to locate and is on Route 113 about five miles north of Holdness , and across from the parking lot for the Mount Morgan Trail. With 350 acres of property, you will be surrounded by spectacular views of the Vermont fall colors throughout the season.
