Fall in New England

Autumn in New England is truly spectacular. The fall foliage season begins in the northern part of the region in early September moving slowly southwards into October. The colors will be brightest in different parts of New England at different times and typically ‘peak’ foliage is considered to be the first two weeks in October in the northern part of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and the middle two weeks in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. There is no guarantee of catching the autumn colors at their best. Much depends on the timing of the onset of cooler weather and local climate conditions. For planning purposes remember it is a busy time for the region’s tourism industry so early booking is essential (especially for Columbus Day Weekend) and fly-drive passengers should make their reservations ahead of time. Fall days are typically warm and the evenings crisp so pack a warm jacket for the evenings.  For detailed information on Fall Foliage in New England , visit the Live Foliage Maps at YankeeFoliage.com http://www.yankeefoliage.com/new-england-foliage-maps/
