Re: STOWE REPORT--GONDOLA--TOLL ROAD--SMUGGLERS NOTCH

We returned from Stowe Tuesday and I have never experienced more vibrant reds and oranges! The foliage this season is breath-taking to say the least. I only wished we could have stayed a bit longer. Rte 108 is the road! Loved the Stowe area after years of being in Killington. Everywhere we went it j...

Re: I'm back, out-of-date update and tease

Beautiful photos! I will be up around Stowe next weekend and I'm hoping to see some nice reds and oranges during my travels. We never used Stowe as our home base but we need some new places to see. I hope we're not too early... :?: :?

Re: weekend in the NEK

We really had a nice summer if I do say so myself not being a big fan of summer. We are planning to go to Stowe for 3 days (early??) Sept 26, 27 and 28th)...

Re: Weather & leaf peeping Killington Oct 9-12???

As always, you guys are great! Thanks for your input. I swear I am never, ever going to put off Vermont until 2nd week of October. Maybe years ago that was the time to go but with the climate changing I believe our leaves our turning earlier. It's beautiful here in CT right now. Gosh, I remember yea...

Weather & leaf peeping Killington Oct 9-12???

It sounds like it is a great year. Hubby & I will be visiting Killington area Oct 9-12. I am worried about the rain :cry: ...

Mark-your slideshow is magnificent. My hubby and I were up on Cloudland Road a week ago today and he took pictures of that same beautiful home. If I hit the lottery, I will be knocking on that door!
