In New England, peak foliage varies by location and elevation. Northern areas, such as Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, often reach their peak earlier in the season, while lower elevations and southern regions, like the Berkshires in Massachusetts, follow later. Scenic routes like the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire and the Mohawk Trail in Massachusetts offer breathtaking views of the changing leaves. Planning your visit around these peak times ensures you’ll experience the most vibrant colors.
