Scenes of Vermont Forums

A few weeks ago, I asked the Forum about the best scenic, photogenic route from NYC to Rutland on Saturday October 7. I got this suggestion:

87 north to Route 29 at Saratoga Springs (exit 15, follow signs to 29 East).
East (right) on 29 to Route 22 north.
North (left) on 22 to Salem, NY.
East on 153 at Salem to E.Rupert, VT.
North(left) on Route 30 at E.Rupert.
Right on Route 133 in center of Pawlet, VT.
Follow 133 to Route 4 and into Rutland
or follow 140 from Middletown Sprgs to Route 7 at Wallingford and turn north on Route 7 to Rutland.

My questions are:
1. is it still good or there's a better way to maximize Foliage Viewing "on the way in" ?
2. how is Foliage in Killington area over Columbus Day?

Thanks

Anyone?

Sorry for the delay but I had to get to work where I'm writing from now. Except for the Saratoga area this ride has a lot country driving with good foliage. I don't think you can do much better using state roads. I've driven some of these roads and enjoyed it. i even did the Black Hole Hollow and found my way back out.

Killington should be peaking about then.
