The beauty and splendor of a Vermont autumn has attained mythical status when it comes to sightseeing, atmosphere and must-do adventures. I had obsessed over foliage colors for more than a year with my first tryst with it at smokey mountains, and now coming to Vermont just taking my obsession to next level, with me micro-planning things and tracking foliage reports for over 2 months daily - just to catch 'peak colors'. Finally, the time was here and I'd say we reached at a pretty good time with thrilling carpet of colors blanketing the mountains, forests, and fields!

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Vermont is one of New England's best places to leaf peep thanks to its abundance of sugar maple trees. These trees display more hues than other varieties! The award-winning vibrant foliage draws in leaf peepers from all over.

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel One of the best places to take in the colorful landscapes and picturesque Vermont scenes is the coveted Route 100 corridor, so how can we miss it?

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Most of the state is covered with Green Mountain National Forest which is a vast land of hardwood forests, beautifully carved by glaciers with the most spectacular displays of fall foliage in the world.

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel As country side as it can get!

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Ah, I can see more colors ahead. Gooooo at full thrust!

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Incredibly popular and charming Woodstock is one of the best places to set up base for a covered bridge. Woodstock Middle is one of the ‘newest’ covered bridges in Vermont

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel The infamous Sugar Bush Farm is famous for its excellent waxed cheeses and pure maple syrup made right on the farm

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Producing over 50% of the nation's maple syrup, Vermont is the nation’s leading producer of maple syrup and we were lucky to see some being oozed out of these trees live in action.

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Sleepy Hallows farm is one of the most photographed properties in Vermont and if you ever saw photos of fall in vermont, you must have this seen pic already?

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel The super hyped, Stowe delighted us in the pure gold, orange and red hues of the fall foliage

But this house actually was a tourit destination of itself - can almost hear the Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham sound track here lol

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Smuggler's Notch has Vermont's most dramatic road, passes through picturesque forests and bold rock outcroppings, the state's most famous resort village, and over a shoulder of Mount Mansfield, its highest mountain.

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel The name, Smugglers Notch, means exactly what you would imagine. In the 1800s the proximity to Montreal made this a favorite passthrough for those smuggling goods between Vermont and Canada but now all that is history!

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Different colors of foliage memories which we are taking back with us!

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Trying a cool and colorful winding road dramatic drone shot here

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel The literal smuggler's notch which technically is just a mount pass separating Mount Mansfield, the highest peak of the Green Mountains, from Spruce Peak and the Sterling Range!

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Dreaming of deliciousness of the first ever Baskin Robins factory and and reminiscing the "dead flavors" in the 'flavor graveyard'

Vibrant Vermont. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Vibrant colors on a hill, across the lake was another shot I always wanted to take!
