A Sea of Colour: Tour New England In Autumn
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010During the autumn months the eastern states of New England, USA, put on a spectacular display for ‘leaf peepers’ and tourists across the globe. The drop in temperature and shortening of days see the trees of New England change to amazing shades of yellow, orange and red as they ready themselves to shed their leaves. The best way to get the most out of your trip through New England is to take a coach tour or to drive yourself. Fly drives mean you can pretty much go wherever you want and a pace that suits you. A coach tour will take you to the best spots because they have years of experience behind them, but you are restricted to the path they take you on. However, it is always a bit of a gamble if you are visiting New England to see the leaves change colour, as it happens at slightly different times each year. The changing of the foliage usually starts at the beginning of September and moves from north to south until the end of October. A typical trip around New England will last around ten days, but you can set your own times and pace if you drive yourself. Most journeys will begin from the city of Boston in the state of Massachusetts. Boston is a city of great historical significance and played a major role in the independence of America. To see some of this history, take the path called the freedom trail which is marked with red paint. It will take you to 16 colonial revolutionary sights around the city. From Boston you drive north along the coast and Massachusetts Bay to the city of Salem, which is famous for the Salem witch trials in the late 17th century. After visiting Salem you can continue your journey, leaving Massachusetts and briefly entering New Hampshire before reaching Maine and its capital city, Portland. From the rugged coastline and lighthouses of Portland you drive west on your way to New Hampshire, but not before you have passed Maine’s lakes and forests where, hopefully, you will be able witness the colourful trees in all their glory. This route to New Hampshire is very scenic and you will pass through the White Mountains on an old Indian trail called Kancamagus Highway, which cuts through a national forest. Passing through New Hampshire and into Vermont, you will be hit by the pretty colours of the states hillsides. The next stage of your journey will take you south and back into Massachusetts, where you could stop for a visit to the Old Sturbridge Village, which is a recreation of a working New England colonial town. You are now on the final leg of the tour passing through Rhode Island and Newport before making the short drive to Cape Cod and back to Boston. If you have timed it right and have had a bit of luck on your side you should be able to see then trees change colour as you drive around these leafy states. There’s no way of predicting 100 percent when this will happen, but if you get it right it could be one of the most memorable USA holidays you’ll ever have.
