There is nothing in the world that compares to the gorgeous scenery of a New England autumn. Picturesque towns with white church steeples, brilliant red maples, and rolling hills painted with splashes of vibrant colors immediately come to mind when thinking of a New England vacation in the fall. All leaf peepers should thoughtfully plan their itinerary in order to make the most of the opportunity.

When to Go

When is peak color? This is the question every traveler to New England wants to know. When will the leaves be at their best? It is impossible to know for sure. As the saying goes -- One person’s peak is another person’s near miss. Weather can vary the peak dates from year to year. The color can be gorgeous one day and a storm can knock everything off overnight. That is the chance one takes in going for the color. However, there is a general timeframe when most areas can expect peak color. The color moves from north to south during September and October. If one researches the target areas, a timeframe will begin to emerge as to the potential best weeks to visit. Also consider the various fall foliage festivals that take place when deciding when and where to go.
