Foreword: I've been 6-year reader of this forum, greatly relying on the awesome advice but essentially never posting
Having sadly not gone on my annual foliage drive the past 2 years due to work, I just had to go this year. I live in Providence, RI.I've only gone through a few of my pics, but in attempt to quickly provide my experiences/advice for travel, I'm submitting it now.
Journey:
Oct 10 (Fri):
I drove from Rhode Island up to Lincoln, NH (took the scenic route of Rte 3 to include Laconia, Meredith, Ashland):
Decent foliage but highway too big for any picturesque setting. Took Route 49 East a bit and the Pemigewasset River looked amazing:
Camped in Lincoln/North Woodstock NH off 112.
Oct 11 (Sat):
Did the typical Kancamagus loop, including Bear Notch Rd.
Went down to the river that runs along Kanc.:
Went to Sabbaday Falls (last time I went in '11, I tragically saw someone die in the waterfall, so this was a humbling experience to revisit it).
Upon driving back to Woodstock, NH to camp, saw sunset at the Rt 302 / Highway 93 junction:
At my campsite, I took some shots:
Oct 12 (Sun):
Now, my favorite part -- Vermont!
Drove on 112 West towards Brook Road:
Drove down Brook Rd towards Cloudland Road, via Vershire Center Rd (loop on Darling Hill back road) and Howe Hill, which were the BEST roads!
From Cloudland Road, I went down to Jenne Farm via Route 106:
From Jenne Farm, drove to Cornish-Windsor Bridge via Route 44:
Then drove home to Providence, RI. Back to school now! Can't wait to look through the rest of the pics (panoramas, too) and video.
Thanks everyone for the tips over the years. I'm finally giving back, haha.
