New England Fall Foliage Trip Itinerary

Want to travel to New England to see some of the most beautiful fall colors? 🍂 Save this for planning your itinerary ⤵️ 🍁 Start your trip in New Hampshire and visit the state from north to south: ◻️ Table Rock in Dixville Notch ◻️ White Mountains (so much to explore here, but here a few things I personally loved) • Kancamagus Highway, arguably the most beautiful scenic fall drive 🚗 • Conway where you can take the scenic train ride 🚂 • Franconia Notch State Park where you can do the popular Artist’s Bluff sunrise hike and see the stunning reflections at Echo Lake 🌅 • Crawford Notch (lots of hikes in this area, stunning views from the Frankenstein Trestle) 🍁 Next, visit Vermont and check out the following places: ◻️ Smuggler’s Notch ◻️ Stowe ◻️ Cold Hollow Cider Mill ◻️ Ben & Jerry’s factory ◻️ Trapp Family Lodge (the view from here is pretty amazing and after seeing it, head to the von Trapp Brewery for delicious food and drinks 🍻 ◻️ Sleepy Hollow in Woodstock 🍁 Finally, make your way through New York for: ◻️ Indian Head Trailhead ◻️ Minnewaska State Park 🍁 A few other helpful tips: ✨ Peak colors happen early! (At least earlier than I expected) Plan for around the first week of October, but be sure to check the ‘Fall Foliage Prediction Map’ on https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/ to  better time your trip and have the best opportunity of catching peak color each year ✨ The weather is unpredictable! We had 2 days of rain, which limited some of the hikes we could do, so I would build a few extra days into your trip in case you face unfortunate weather conditions. ✨ Airbnb and booking.com listings are extremely expensive this time of year, book/plan in advance as room availability is super limited last minute 😱 This was my first time visiting New England and I feel like there is so much more to see and do, what would you add to this list? . . . . . . .
