Grab a Treat and Check Out some Sweet Views!

New England is known for its prominent seasons, and autumn is no exception. With its vibrant colors and crisp air, it is the perfect time of year to go sight seeing on the East Cost. Being based in New Hampshire, we have plenty of tips to make the most of your leaf peeping adventure. Grab some snacks and lollipops, and check out our favorite spots to view the hues.

Adams, MA

Autumn in The Berkshires
Adams, Massachusetts located in Berkshire County is a perfect place to take in the New England landscape. With plenty to do in surrounding area, known as The Berkshires, you can make your trip much more than just a quick drive for a leaf peep. What better time to make the trip than autumn.

One pro tip for viewing the foliage is to do it from the top of a mountain. At an altitude of 3,491 feet, Mount Greylock will show you miles of reds, yellows, oranges, and greens. Whether you choose to hike or drive up the mountain you can experience the beauty of New England the whole way up and the whole way down

Shelburne Falls, MA

Bridge of Flowers
Not far East of The Berkshires is the charming little town of Shelburne Falls. New Englanders near and far come to see the fall foliage from the Bridge of Flowers, which in and of itself is a view of its own. The bridge was originally a trolley track that ran over the Deerfield River, but it was reconstructed into a gorgeous garden in the 1980's. Although the trolley tracks were removed, a Trolley Museum was constructed to preserve the history of the tiny town. The bridge now houses 500 varieties of perennials and annuals from spring all the way into early Fall.  With plenty of beauty to admire both within and beyond the bridge, Shelburne Falls sights pack a powerful punch.


Gorham Mountain, Acadia National Park

Bar Harbor, ME

There is more to do in Bar Harbor, Maine than you may think. With its history of attracting wealthy Americans in the late 1800's, you too can feel like royalty. Its remote location makes it a perfect retreat to appreciate the autumn landscape and much more. In just a short walk you can view 25 historic structures including amazing clapboard churches and and marvelous mansions. This historic town is encompassed by Acadia National Park, which is ranked one of the top 10 parks in the country and covers over 40,000 acres. You can catch amazing views of the park from Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the east coast. At an altitude of 1,530 feet you may think it sounds intense, but it is actually a hill that just so happens to be on the highest point on the east coast. Enjoy the views with ease!
