The Ultimate Fall Foliage Road Trip Through New England's Color Capit

🍁 Vermont's VT-100: The Ultimate Fall Foliage Road Trip Through New England's Color Capital 🍂 You’ve just driven one of America’s most iconic leaf-peeping routes—VT-100, the spine of Vermont’s autumn glory. Stretching almost the entire length of the state, this scenic byway is especially breathtaking between Killington and Stowe, where rolling hills, classic farm scenes, and fiery maple forests unfold around every turn. Though the road is well-marked with VT-100 signs, the real magic lies in the small towns and spontaneous pull-offs along the way. And yes—once you near Stowe, the traffic picks up. This is, after all, one of New England’s most beloved ski towns turned fall foliage hub 🚗💨. Don’t miss: • Riding the gondola up Mount Mansfield for panoramic views of the colorful valleys 🚡📸 • Exploring tucked-away hiking trails beyond the main village (try Smugglers' Notch or Bingham Falls!) • Wandering through Stowe’s charming streets—coffee shops, breweries, and that famous white church You’re right—the foliage might feel different from Canada’s rugged, lake-dotted landscapes. Vermont’s beauty is more intimate: red barns against golden hills, covered bridges draped in vines, and misty mornings over pumpkin patches. It’s a curated kind of wild. Pro tip: On your return trip, take the highway (I-89 or US-2) unless you’re ready for another 5-hour scenic cruise. Sometimes you just need to make time… and process the 300 photos you took on the way up 😉 Whether you caught the peak or slid in just past it, you drove through a postcard—one that millions dream of experiencing. Already planning next year’s trip? Maybe try the NH Kancamagus Highway or Maine’s Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway next! #FallInVermont #Stowe #NewEnglandFall #LeafPeeping #RoadTripDreams #TravelVT #AutumnVibes
