Autumn in Vermont
Discover fall in Vermont with fall foliage reports, scenic drives, covered bridges, charming towns, festivals, and ideas for planning the perfect Vermont fall getaway.
WELCOME TO FALL
When Vermont Comes Alive
Vermont fall foliage is one of New England’s best attractions every year. With forests covering three-quarters of the state—and an abundance of vibrant sugar maples—the landscape explodes with brilliant red, orange, yellow, and gold as the leaves begin to turn.
PLAN FOR PEAK COLOR
Follow the Foliage
Color usually begins in Vermont’s higher elevations and northern regions, then moves south through the valleys. Use the foliage map as a planning guide, stay flexible, and let the scenic route lead the way.
