[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Vermont is up there for states that are not to be missed once autumn rolls around. At The Norwich Inn, we get to see this every year, so we know a thing or two about where to find the best locations to snap a photo or gaze at the fall foliage. We’ve made a simple guide for getting the most out of Vermont leaf peeping this autumn.
Vermont Leaf Peeping To-Dos
- Don’t come too late! Peak colors fade out by the time October ends. So look to book with us in September or early October.
- The first thing you’ll want to do is decide if you plan to walk, drive, or paddle. There’s no wrong answer, by the way.
- Rent an ATV. ATV Vermont is nearby, and you can race to some of the best areas to snap pictures before anyone else has a chance.
- If an ATV is too fast for you, take things slow with a horse-drawn ride. Kedron Valley Stables is your best option.
- Bring your mountain bike or rent one at Suicide Six. In addition, the Suicide Six trails are free to use.
- Go ahead and walk at your own pace. Vermont has some fantastic hiking trails. For starters, you can get hiking on the famous Appalachian Trail or try the Gile Mountain Trail.
- Take a breezy tour through Dartmouth College’s campus if you are interested in an urban stroll to see the fall colors.
- If you want to see it all, might we suggest booking a reservation for a hot air balloon ride? Quechee Balloon Rides LC can take you up high for a once-in-a-lifetime view.
- Before you head out, check in with the Vermont Fall Foliage Reports. You’ll save some time and get the most up-to-date information on when to see the peak colors in the area.
- Vermont is known for having historic and rustic covered bridges. It also happens to be a great place to pull over and shoot some photos.
