Vermont’s Fall Foliage

Summer is coming to an end in Vermont. We are beginning to see signs of fall, from early morning chill to seasonal flavors and the turning of leaves. Vermont is famous for its beautiful change of color in fall. It is in the early stages, and soon most trees will be vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and red. Some trees that are known for their color change are maple, oak, and birch.

This is leaf peeper season. Visitors from surrounding states travel to Vermont to get a glimpse of the fall foliage. Residents get outside to take in the array of colors and enjoy all that Vermont’s fall has to offer. Whether you are traveling from afar or a Vermonter, there are many ways to take advantage of leaf peeping. The peak of foliage is usually in late September to early October, which is a popular time for Vermont vacationers. This is also an ideal time for hiking, biking, apple picking and much more.
