2.Saranac Lake, New York
The scenic village of Saranac Lake is a scenic village and namesake lake nestled in the Adirondacks. Oddly, the village is reportedly “centered around Lake Flower.” Saranac Lake is actually located close to the village. Athletic types will love this place as there are a number of different hiking trails here, many miles of them, in fact.
The most noteworthy hiking trails are the Baker Mountain Trail and the Bloomingdale Bog Trail because they are great places to take in the multi-colored autumnal glory. Get a good look at the subtle and not-so-subtle shades of blazing orange, fire engine red, and mellow yellow. When you are pooped from leaf-peeping, grab a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. Explore the place and see the farmers’ markets full of fresh produce, art galleries, and shops too.
3.Stowe, Vermont
“Professional” leaf peepers say some of the best fall colors in New England are found in Stowe. Indeed, some say the state is “Fall’s Color Capital.” Regular readers may well recognize Stowe is, in fact, a favorite of fall foliage fans from its inclusion on another list.
This postcard-perfect place comes complete with cute, covered bridges and charming church steeples. It’s all more beautiful backdropped by a plethora of plants and trees that turn different shades of brown, red, orange, and yellow. The best time to visit is between late September through the middle of October.
If you’re up for it, take a hike here or go for a bike ride. If you go when the weather’s a bit chilly for you, take a nice scenic drive down the well-known Mount Mansfield Auto Toll Road. Speaking of chilly, if you like ice cream and art, you are in luck here!
Stop at the Ben & Jerry’s Waterbury Factory. If you schedule your visit right, there are a number of annual arts and crafts events and festivals too. Join the festivities at the popular Pumpkin Chuckin’ Festival hosted at the attractive Stoweflake Mountain Resort. Activities include live music, a trebuchet contest, a chili cook-off, and assorted activities for the kiddies as well.
