The summer may officially be over but the weather in New England will remain beautiful for several more weeks but even as the days get shorter and the temperatures cool, there is plenty to do in the fall. With many of us not traveling, day trips may prove to be a boon for local tourism.
According to USA Today readers two New England locations were included in their Reader’s Choice list of 10 best destinations for fall foliage. New Hampshire’s White Mountains ranked No. 4 and Stowe, Vermont, ranked No. 6. If getting out of the house for a weekend roadtrip sounds appealing, check out the NH scenic foliage drives or VT scenic foliage drives websites. Although it failed to make the Reader’s Choice top 10 list, I also want to give a shout out for Berkshire Scenic Drives which typically sees peak foliate a week or two after Vermont and New Hampshire.
The best part about these drives is they are easy day trips so make plans to get out and enjoy the fall weather when it arrives next month.
