VERMONT FALL FOLIAGE

VT Fall Foliage ViewTiming your visit to view Vermont’s splendid fall foliage display is tricky, at best. There are a number of variables involved in determining when the colors will be the most vibrant in each region of the state. Due to the weather variables, it is nearly impossible to accurately predict exactly when the leaves will start turning color. The northern regions of Vermont will begin sooner than the southern regions, due to warm afternoons followed by cool evenings. However, an over-abundance of rain and wind or an extreme heatwave and drought will affect the overall timing and vibrancy of Vermont’s foliage season.  Find more information about Vermont Fall Foliage from VT LIVING.com.

RHODE ISLAND FALL FOLIAGE

Although Rhode Island is on the south coast of New England this tiny state is big on Fall Foliage colors. The bright colors of foliage season don’t arrive here until the leaves have fallen in most of northern New England. Plan a late fall look at the Autumn colors of Rhode Island and stay at an amazing Rhode Island Bed and Breakfast Inn.

Best Time For New England Fall Foliage Viewing

So when is Peak Color? Peak foliage varies depending on the region you are visiting. The timing of when the peak of the fall foliage season depends on a wide variety of factors. The foliage season begins sooner the farther north one travels. New England Fall Foliage season begins in early September in the north and extends until late October in southern New England. The foliage is an effect of the trees preparing for the winter. So, the colder weather is what tells the trees to prepare for the coming winter. How much rain an area has received affects how much and what variety of colors are in that area. The most popular time for venturing north to view the beautiful New England foliage is Columbus Day Weekend. This is the weekend that the crowds tend to be the highest so make travel plans as far in advance as possible. If you would like to avoid the crowds travel earlier in the season. In general, the farther north you travel the earlier the autumn season will be found. In fact, fall foliage colors can be seen in the areas of the northern White Mountains in early September! There are several different ways to view the foliage. A planned driving route would allow for the viewing of a wide variety of foliage. A walk, hike, or biking tour is another way of soaking in the whole New England fall experience. The brightly colored leaves, crisp fresh air, and wonderful vistas really make autumn in New England a wonderful time of year.
