Fall Foliage

My favorite time of t he year is here -- it's time for the Fall Foliage! This is the only time that I miss living in New England. The brisk smell of the Autumn air, the bright blue sky and the beautiful colors on the trees as the leaves change from green to different shades of red, orange, yellow. What a magnificient time of the year!

This is a great time to plan a trip to the mountains and stay at a cozy bed & breakfast. The innkeepers can guide you to the best places to view the foliage in their area and help you to enjoy your foliage even more.

There are many Bed & Breakfasts in New England. Here is one located on the Northern Shore of Lake Champlain. The Thomas Mott B&B in Alburg, Vermont offers picturesque lake views from all four of its guest rooms. This is a great place to start your Fall Foliage tour.
