One nice thing about Vermont is that change happens so slowly here, and will continue to do so for the forseeable future.<P>Our adopted home has an organic beauty that has groown iover the last two and a half centuries, and can never be reproduced by corporate "imagineering". Small town life in Amer...

Lowell Lake State Pakk just east of Londonderry. heading east turn left onto Lowell Lake Road. At the fork in the road turn right. the trail around the road is 3.5 milesand is gorgeous. <P>If you dont mind sweating, the Weathersfield Trail up Mt Ascutney will do you just fine.<P>Small and large wate...

The good news is that your best bets will be closer to home at the southern end of the stateanywhere in the box cornered by bennington, Rutland, Woodstock, and Brattleboro. the futrther north you go the sparcser things will be by then.<BR>Bennington is nice as are Grafton, Newfane, Chester.

There's an old saying here in Vermont, "if you don't like the weather, wait an hour." It really does seem to be the way things work out here.<P>As for the weather channel, If only i had a buck for every time they were wrong with their forcasts up here...<P>If you plan on taking pictures, the overcas...

Hi,<BR>Speaking as a local, peak is somewhat ephemeral. One side of a ridge may be blazing orange while the other side is still green or even grey because the leaves have fallen. <P>We have soft maples behind us that arre already beginning to lose leaveas and sugar maples that are just starting to r...

Thank you for the eyewitness account. Its refreshing after all of the "foliage reports indicate" type prognosticating.<P>Too many seem to be relying on weather channels and sites. There is no reason to expect them to be any better at predicting foliage conditions which are weather dependant than the...

This time of year and with the drought we have had there shouldn't be a problem with roads being flooded. Downed trees may present a problem after a windstorm. in some fire or logging roads.But they are usually clesred very quickly. <P>If you're used to off roading it you shouldn't have any problem....

Hi Suz, <P>One of the best things about travelling to Vermont is theere is no "the usual". Admittedly some villages are much nicer than others, noteably Grafton, newfane, and Chester in this area. Ther is a wide Varieto of terrain and scenery. If foliage is your quarry then The southern end of the s...
