4 Must-See Fall Foliage Stops

Pumpkin spice? Nah. We’re talking real autumn vibes – the kind that Mother Nature paints across Vermont and New York each fall. Think fiery reds, golden yellows, and every shade in between, turning mountains into masterpieces.

We’ve crafted the perfect route, hitting iconic spots and hidden gems. Starting in charming Stowe, Vermont, we’ll wind through the Green Mountains, then cross into New York’s Adirondacks. Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, and finally, picturesque Woodstock, Vermont, round out this visual feast.

Must-See Stops

• Smugglers’ Notch: Locals know: Rt. 108 closes for winter! Catch those hair-pin turns and jaw-dropping views before the snow flies.
• Lake Champlain: Ferry across for mountain panoramas that’ll make your phone storage beg for mercy.
• Whiteface Mountain: Gondola or drive up for views that’ll make you feel on top of the world (literally).
• Ausable Chasm & Quechee Gorge: Nature’s drama at its finest – rivers carving through rock, creating the perfect fall foliage backdrop.

This ain’t just about leaves, though. It’s charming towns, historic sites, and outdoor fun. Hike, kayak, or just stroll – this trip leaves you refreshed and in awe of nature’s show.

So, grab your camera, hit the road, and let the colors lead the way!
