Courtmel, my other Connecticut foliage fanatic! Take the notch ride up 108 and you will be lovin' every minute of it! In Jeffersonville, there is a nice place to eat, inexpensive, that I took Phil to for lunch. It was like a deli/café with wholesome food. I would suggest taking
Pleasant Valley Road for a nice view of Mt. Mansfield. A lot of us have taken photos there. Take route 15 west to Cambridge. You can get PV Road there and then take the loop back thru Upper Pleasant Valley Road.
Second, take route 15 east to Hyde Park. The
Lamoille River is wonderful!!!! Andy turned me on to
Hogback Road once and that was super.
Thirdly, go to
Belvidere Pond thru Waterville on route 109!!!! The mountains besides Belvidere Pond are sure to be gorgeous. Oh how I hope you get there! I left my heart in Belvidere Pond for what reason, who knows. I was sure I saw a moose there coming out from the edge of the backside of the pond. I kept zooming in on my photo trying to convince Phil it was a moose and he said it was a log. The next time I went with dear Phil, I heard a loon for the first time in my life. It was so surreal and I was in foliage heaven at the time. Please get there!
I know your time is short but hopefully you can get to these 3 places. Photography heaven! Let me know! Enjoy!!!!!!
Phil had to help me carry out the bags! Don't worry, some were gifts!
