Fall in New England is one of the most glorious times of the year. The weather is still relatively warm, and the temperatures drop just enough so that the leaves start to turn magnificent colors. If you are seeking a prime opportunity to catch autumn's leaves at their height, a trip in early fall is a must.
Know When to Go
To catch the changing leaves at their height, visiting New England in the first few weeks of September is optimal. Early September brings vivid colors to the leaves and temperatures that are still warm enough for an enjoyable trip.
Don't Wing It
You might be tempted to head off to New England without a plan in place, but winging it can make your trip more stressful. Planning a route in advance gives you some idea of the distance you will cover and the time needed to travel.
