Fall colors in New England

[dalelobo@comcast.net]

What are the best areas to see good colors in Vermomt and New Hampshire? Looking for things to do and see. We are coming from Albuquerque and will be traveling for a month or more.

We lived in NH for 18 years and just about anywhere in either state will be beautiful. If you stop at a visitor center you can get foliage maps that will be a great guide.

However be aware that most campgrounds close on or between Oct 1st and the 15th and the color often peaks about that time, so do some research and perhaps make reservations.

That's a very popular time of year to be there.

If you can find an open campground in NH or MA there are tons of things to do. Day trips to Boston and the surounding area are good. The Freedom trail, the Constitution, Bunker hill and Sturbridge Village come to mind. Also the Boston Science Museum and the Boston Aquarium. Clam chowder at Legal Seafood and seafood at a lot of places in NH along RT 1.

Strawberry Banke in Portsmouth NH is another neat thing to see.

We just returned from a 6-week vacation in the NE states. It is beautiful and I am sure the fall colors will be even more beautiful. We visited Quechee, VT and the Quechee Gorge Staet Park. That area would surely be lovely during the fall. Also in Bar Harbor, ME the Acadia National Park is another beautiful place. After getting in NE and seeing all the beautiful mountains we think a fall trip to that area would be great. Happy travels!
