Oh my God! Peak in these areas! Follow these roads to Foliage Heaven!:

Route 108 to Jeffersonville through Smuggler's Notch, the road of all roads!

Take route 15 to Johnson and stop at the Woolen Mills! We bought out the store!!!

Take 100 C to North Hyde Park! Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!

Travel north on 100 to Eden to and stop at Belvidere Pond! You won't want to come back to reality! What views and color here!

109 exploding with color but we can't go everywhere!!!!!!!! We took 118 north to Mongomery! WOW WOW WOW! Traveled up on 118 through bridge country (saw the six bridges) and the colors were just about to reach full peak! We met some interesting hunters checking in their game at the gas station! :wink: (Long story...) We loved all the bridges and Phineas Swan and the Trout Brook restaurant looked like a possibility to stay next year if we don't do Burlington! We retraced our steps to back to Montgomery Center and took the ride of our life on:

Hazens Notch Road! (Continuum of route58) You must take this ride! The colors were awesome and the Jay Peak area to our left was in peak and beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Hazens Notch State Park gorgeous!!!!!

Continued on 58 to Irasburg with some of the most dramatic views imagineable and colors galore! Coming into Irasburg oh wow! Also stopped in Hardwick for their annual fall foliage festival! Bags filled coming out with lots of goodies!!!!

Now for for good stuff! Route 14 south full of red, red, red, red, red ranges to the right!!!! Never saw so many ranges showing their red colors in my life! We were in such a trance, we took it all the way to Montpeliar!!!!!!!!! Stopped at Bragg Farm Sugarhouse and bought the store out!

So exhausted, stopped "routing and shopping" and hooked on to 89 and what color! We started to decompress and then relaxed and watched the colors roll by! 89 was beautiful but there was more green as we merged to 91 so I think that area will pop soon!

Gotta go pack and leave again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
