This Weekend's Peak Places

Southwestern Vermont... New York's Catskill Mountains... The Maine Coast from Kittery to Camden... The Southern Berkshires in Massachusetts... New Hampshire's Monadnock Region, especially Route 101 between Keene and Peterborough.... These are some of the places where you're likely to find ideal fall foliage conditions if you'll be traveling in the Northeast this holiday weekend.

Be sure to use my Leaf Alert guide to find online foliage reports for all of the New England states, plus neighboring New York, or call one of the region's toll-free foliage hotlines for up-to-date foliage reports and forecasts before you hit the road this weekend.

Also, be sure to take a look at the fall festivals and events happening in New England this weekend for additional travel inspiration.

Can't get away this weekend? As you can see from the latest view outside my window, Mother Nature hasn't finished her work here in New England by any means. It appears there will still be at least one more great foliage weekend ahead.
