I am planning to visit Vermont between Oct 13 and 16. Sole purpose is to just enjoy foliage.
Please suggest me best places I should visit, where I could find best foliage around that time.

I have been to Stowe for a quick one day trip 3 years back once and went to Smugglers Notch and took gandola ride to hilltop as well.

I would echo Carol's recommendation. The Champlain Valley is probably going to be your best bet that late in the season. If things progress the way it looks, foliage could be largely down by that late in the month. But because of the tempering winds off Lake Champlain, that area lags behind a bit.

If it sounds too good to be true, its probably . . . .

Andy, Abby,bm, Thanks for reply.

You guys think it will be almost over around Oct 15 in most of Vermont :? ?
I am planning for that date based on my previous experience. Last time when I visited Stowe 3 years back, it was Oct 16/17 and I think it was not peak even around that time.

Can you please provide some specifics/routes I should follow around champlain valley.
For Stowe I read, rt 100 is best btw.
