New England Fall Foliage: 10
There is nothing quite like autumn in the Northeast. We’re hitting the quintessential loop: starting with the rocky coast of Maine, cutting through the rugged White Mountains, and finishing with the rolling "Green" (well, orange and red) Mountains of Vermont. Pack a light jacket and get your camera ready.
