Just got approved to this board and was hoping for a bit of advice after much lurking and thinking. I have a day off tomorrow and another on 10/6. I was hoping colors would be settling in and I could make a day trip (up from Salem, MA) to photograph spots. Went through the entire 'favorites' thread that recently went up and would like to try my hand at Stowe/Rt 108/Smuggler's Notch then Rt 109/Belvedere pond. Was also planning to hit Bingham falls.
Question is - are the colors 'there' for this trip tomorrow or am I better off heading elsewhere and saving this trip for the 6th?
Thanks

As an introduction, here is are two of my favorite shots from last Fall
Fern Lake (got lost and wound up here by mistake)
Sit for a Spell: (wish I remembered where this was...)

It's pretty early.
If you want to make a quick day trip and save some driving, consider the upper elevations in the southern part of the state, which should have some decent color by now (haven't been up in a week).

There is early color in the highlands of the Stowe/Belvidere area. IXL suggested the high elevations of southern Vt. Route 100 does turn earlier than the rest of the state because of it's elevation. It might be worth a try.

Nice shot of the Lake? Willing to tell us where you got lost?
If it were me, I would save it for Oct 6. Sure to find some good color somewhere on that date. Cannot predict or guarantee weather, unfortunately

If it sounds too good to be true, its probably . . . .

the picture that you posted of the beautiful westport style lawn chairs looks like the ones near the robert frost memorial trail off rt. 125, near the middlebury/snow bowl campus. i may be mistaken about your nice picture, but even if i am that is one beautiful spot for foliage photography.

Fern Lake: Addison County, about 5 miles N of Brandon on Vt. 53.
