Question 41: Tips for First-Time Autumn Travelers

By Kim Knox Beckius, About.com Guide

June 29, 2000

Kimberly: Your info was of great help and so well organized. We have a group of six that will be touring the New England area in October. Any additional tips or information for first-time tourists would be greatly appreciated. We want to experience autumn and the beautiful scenery. You have a great service which I have used some already.

Dear Gary,

So glad to hear that you have found my Web site helpful.

Hopefully, what you have already found is my New England Foliage Central, which has a bounty of ideas for fall foliage visits to New England. You may also find additional information of use in my Foliage links directory:

Here's a quick list of MY favorite things to do in New England in the fall...

1) Go for a hike/walk on crunchy leaves.
2) Take photographs.
3) Go on a hay ride.
4) Pick pumpkins.
5) Eat cinnamon donuts.
6) Pick up all of my favorite leaves and press them to preserve them.
7) Drink warm apple cider.
8) Visit a winery.
9) Take a fall foliage cruise.
10) Drive the back roads.

I hope that inspires you a bit and gives you some ideas. If you have any other questions as you plan your trip, please don't hesitate to post them to the New England Forum--you will need to create a login name and password for yourself the first time you visit in order to post.

All best wishes,
Kim Knox
