Mother Nature seems to have checked the calendar and realized she was running late. We're getting reports from all over that the foliage is finally peaking. Check out the reports below. And, don't forget to check the Fall Festivals page and the Calendar of Events for some very special events while you're visiting Vermont.
NORTHERN VERMONT
Foliage is exploding in Stowe. Peak foliage around Mt. Mansfield has spread to lower elevations. Oranges, browns and yellow hues are prevalent, though leaf peepers will find bright reds around town.

With the beautiful weather and the temperatures starting to dip down, we are seeing the golden yellows, brilliant reds and the crisp burnt oranges on the trees in and around the Jeffersonville area. (Photo by Laura Gibson)

SOUTHERN VERMONT
A wave of stunning colors swept over Stratton this past week, leaving a vivid imprint of bright red, orange and yellow hues across the leaves surrounding us. Now is the perfect time to hike the mountain or take a relaxing drive around the area to witness this magnificent transformation. Fall is finally here at southern Vermont's highest peak, which means winter is just around the corner.

Color here in Woodford has really taken off in the last week. Up here on top of the mountain we may have hit peak over the weekend. It's still very beautiful, however. We're looking forward to some sunny days when we can get outside and enjoy.
