Mt. Ascutney! A fall must do for you! Wow! Today was again, an absolutely splendid top ten day hiking in the great state of Vermont! I just can't get enough of the incredible hiking trails in Vermont! I'm totally hooked. The toll road into the forest was beautiful with just 72 degrees throughout ou...

Yay! :D :D :D Looks like tomorrow (7/14) I may be hiking the summit of Mt. Ascutney in Windsor VT to climb the fire tower there. It appears that it will be in the 50's tonight in the area so getting there early looks to be a great option! Very excited to check this one off my "tower bucket list...

And here are the maps! So exciting! There is a trail off of the Lewis Pond Overlook in the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge! Wow!

But...………. it looks a bit scary, thrilling and...

Wow, I can't believe it is July already! Summer really starts for me when we hit July 1st! (And now we are just about two and a half months away from autumn! :D ) I'm looking forward to a couple more day trips to Vermont this summer for hiking, festivals and farmers markets. One new event that is on...

I've been riding each foliage season in Vermont at various stables and can't wait for my next two riding adventures this autumn. There's nothing like the blissful feeling of galloping down a country road with the wind in your face surrounded by sparkling foliage or taking a trail ride through fields...

I love full moons! This year, the full harvest moon will be on September 14th, 2019 which is a Saturday. Unfortunately, it is a tad early for my Vermont foliage vacation but I will enjoy it nonetheless weather permitting. There is nothing more glorious than to view the full harvest moon arising over...

So..... lately I've really needed my Vermont “shot in the arm” and the Greens have been been beckoning me to come up to visit. I could not resist this gorgeous top ten day in Vermont! (And throughout New England for that matter). This morning we left around 9 to make the 11 opening weekend time fram...

Hello foliage friends! Happy Summer Solstice! Our next season is AUTUMN !!!!!!!!!!! Should I say the real countdown begins now? (Although I've been counting down for months now...……) :wink: In 3 months and 5 days, I will be on my way to my beloved Vermont in all its foliage glory and I couldn't be m...

Weekend hiking weather has been nothing short of amazing here in the Northeast and this weekend promises more of the same! So much so, that in my attempt to "challenge myself" for my VT fall foliage hikes, I am hiking CT's highest peak in Salisbury CT to see the Lion's Head Overlook! I'm s...

Janice, these are lovely spring photos! Vermont is wonderful in all seasons! I loved the Peacham shot. I certainly hope things work out for your fall trip, I'd miss your posts! :cry: If you do make it to Vermont, please try to meet me during my Peacham week. When I went to the festival last year, I ...

Hi Brian and welcome to the foliage forum! In my experience, in the last few years, foliage has been a tad late (maybe a week?) due to many reasons. Chasing the foliage color change is a gamble; maybe this year it could even follow a normal pattern. I think that your folks would find early color in ...

Peacham's Fall Foliage Schedule is out and I will be spending the entire day in this gorgeous town enjoying all the wonderful activities from beginning to end! Hope to see you there at some point! Best of all, I will be able to walk back to my lodging after a full day of fun! :D PEACHAM FALL FOLIAGE...

They are not to be missed! I'm so excited to be a...
