New England fall color has a short window — about two weeks at peak, and it moves south as October progresses. We time this departure for that window, routing through the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Green Mountains of Vermont when the color is at its most extraordinary. Covered bridges. White church steeples against the hills. Apple orchards and cider. The Connecticut River Valley. Six states in six days, done at a pace that lets you actually stop and look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you guarantee the fall color?

We time the departure for the expected peak based on historical patterns, but nature sets the schedule. In our experience, early October in Vermont and New Hampshire delivers extraordinary color almost every year.

How much driving is involved?

New England is best seen from the road. Expect comfortable motorcoach travel each day with multiple stops.
