Find preliminary foliage info and the first footage of the season at http://www.VermontVacation.com/fall. In addition to weekly Seeing is BeLeafing videos, the webpage VermontVacation.com/fall will feature weekly recommended driving routes, events, deals and another celebration of the season, Apple to iPods, where visitors to 20 Vermont apple orchards can search for wooden apples hidden for pickers to find – and win an Apple iPod - beginning September 7.
The stage is set for a beautiful foliage season as early fall colors begin to emerge in Vermont. With the highest percentage of maples trees in New England, one-third of which are sugar and red maples responsible for producing intense red hues, Vermont has the most vibrant fall foliage in the northeast. As Vermont is 76 percent forested and home to more than 50 state parks, leaf peepers can view expansive foliage across more than 300,000 acres of state-owned forests complemented by farm valleys, towns and waterways. In the early stages of fall foliage, the best colors can generally be found in higher elevations, the northern sections of the state, and in wetter low-lying areas, where swamp maples bring an early splash of crimson.
