TripCart analytic software has shown us that the trends in this years fall foliage season is to go on weekend trips, close to home. In this post we chose Boston, as “home”.

For this weekend, its a bit early to catch the fall colors just about anywhere in New England. You would enjoy the Colorado Fall Foliage or even New Mexico Fall Foliage at the high elevations of the rockies.

Now, back to Boston Fall Foliage. By early October, the historic town and scenic roads around Concord put on a good display of Massachusetts fall foliage.

A tank of gas will certainly get you far up the Maine Coast (and back). Fall Foliage Cruises in Maine offer a unique view of New England Fall Foliage - from the water. Local ferries provide a “cruise” for a very reasonable price.  Mt. Battie, near Camden, Maine has great panoramic views of the Maine Fall Foliage.

Its going to be hard to reach the northern areas of New Hampshire and Vermont on a tank of gas, so we suggest the following:

For New Hampshire Fall Foliage - 100 miles gets you to Lake Winnipesaukee,  where foliage lovers view the countryside from a hot air balloon.

For Vermont Fall Foliage - Bromley, Stratton and Mt. Snow all run their lifts at full capacity bringing in the early October leaf peepers. At 350 miles round trip - it can be done on one tank. Just leave the Hummer at home.
