Vermont in peak foliage season
Vermont in peak foliage season
An amazing drive is route 86. Its full of fall colors and scenic spots to view the colors. It is also a great route to hike the small mountains of the Adirondacks. Worth a visit and enjoying a sunny day.
View from access road to observation tower on Whiteface.
Breathtaking views of the Adirondacks at the end of a fantastic forest hike!
