YES CT Yanky -- It was I who suggested that road two years ago.. Since you are involved with taking pictures of cows as much as foliage, there was a farm on the north side of the road which had such. lol I believe the peak foliage is slightly later on Road #44 than in many areas as for its closeness...

This was only the 3rd year since 1997 that I haven't been to Vermont but I have been enjoying reading the forum and viewing all of the photos. Last year when I was at the Jenne Farm on Oct 12th, it was peak. The road from Windsor to Reading which is outstanding for its many maples was not yet at pea...

I note you are from Nebraska so I will try to help another Nebraskan. We have been to Vermont 10 out of the past 12 years and no where have we have two years exactly the same. We try to catch about 5 days between the 3rd and the 10th for the Peak foliage. Elevation, latitute, plus closeness to water...

I have been reading your inquiry posts and also some of the replies. Being from Nebraska and having visited Vermont for the fall foliage 10 out of the last 12 years, one has to go by an average as for peak in different areas as it can vary from year to year. We stay for 5 days and we try to pick a p...

Colorfotos trip to New England
I have read your itinerary and though well planned, I feel you are a week late. The foliage season depends on some variables and that is elevation, closeness to lakes and of course latitude. We have visited Vermont and New Hampshire 10 of the past 12 years and have a good idea on what the average pe...

New Hampshire weekend and photos
Those were some of the most fantastic photos that I have observed. Apparently the foliage season is earlier than normal from last year. I made plans to be there from Oct 5-9th and have a concern that much of it might be past as for the NEK and the White Mountains. I generally pick an average time as...

I have been to Vermont 9 out of the last 11 years and notice some of the advice given for a scenic route from Lebanon, N.H. to Burlington. What did surprise me was the suggestion to take Middlebury Gap over to Highway 7 on the way to Burlington. Another Gap route which would have more color is the A...

Best Routes for Color
I believe I have been on all of the routes that many of you have posted and what time of the year to visit etc. Since I have been there 9 out of the past 11 years, I am aware that the peak colors can vary considerably each year. For example 2006, the peak was quite early and one had to go to the low...

Country Stores
I have been to Vermont 9 out of the last 11 years and have traveled about every road and backroad. As for Country Stores, you have two kinds - those that are commercial and a chain or some which are privately owned and are in some of the small towns and villages. You had mentioned the Weston Country...

CT yankee. Do you have any pictures of that large concentration of Sugar Maples on Highway 44 from Windsor to Route 106 near Reading? I saw them on Oct 12th and they were maybe mid-stage. There was a large barn on the north side of the road and then about 100 yards of pasture before all of these map...

CTyanky:: I was on one backroad which had beautiful trees but were hardly midpoint on Oct. 12th. This was on route 44 going west from Windsor to Reading. It had one of the largest concentrations of Sugar Maples of any backroads in Vermont. But this is on the East side of the state and you will be in...

Hi ixl: can you update me before Saturday on the Bennington area? This is our first stop. I will have to change my route to go further north after seeing Bennington if it is still green in your neck of the woods. My guests want to see some color. Now I'm wondering if the Mohawk Trail in MA is green...

How is the foliage in Groton State Forest?
One of my favorite places to visit when I am in the Peachum - Marshfield area is the Groton State Forest. I have not viewed any posts or inquiries on the foliage conditions in this State Forest. Can anybody who has visited this State Forest have any idea what it is now and what it might be by Oct. 8...

Can you also give a post as for the Jeffersonville, Johnson area along with this? I plan on entering Vermont on Sunday Oct 7th and am curious if the best colors from 75"% to Peak will be in that area or maybe going East on Route 105 to get to the Island Pond - Lyndonville - Peachum area. Maybe the c...
