Where does one begin to tell of the great New England that a we know, love and grew up in? Where does one send another, foreigner or neighbor, to find its beauty and to see and feel its grandeur? Having lived in New England all our lives, we knew too many places to go, too many places to tell about, too many wonderful autumn trails. And it was no surprise to either of us as we traveled the roads researching the book that there were countless more.*h
The challenges of choosing only 15 routes in six states were many. Besides our first objective of finding inspiring and varied landscapes coupled with places of interest, we knew that the roads we suggest must be in good shape and that directions should be easy. We offer a combination of well-known and not-so-well-known routes which, hopefully, fulfill our goal of suggesting and describing some of the best autumn experiences available in New England. We describe the routes in various ways, give directions and offer some of the nuts and bolts about travel in the area, including a list of fairs, festivals, places of interest, accommodations and important telephone numbers in the back of each chapter. We do not make gallant attempts to express the beauty of the place, but leave that up to the reader. We tell you only where you might find it.
We do not propose that travelers follow our routes and stops to the last letter. There are scores of places on or near these routes hidden side roads, hiking trails, shops, scenic areas and historic sites which are not mentioned, or perhaps only hinted at, in the text. Based on your travel needs and interests, make your own itinerary with this book as a reference. Mainly, get out and have a good time... and certainly, while youre on the road, follow the beat of your own drummer.
Autumn is the season when New England shows off its best a side. It seems as if the trees know they will soon lose their leaves, so they send them off in a blaze of color. Oak, maple, dogwood, aspen, beech and birch turn from a uniform green to distinctive hues of scarlet, orange, yellow and maroon. And the evergreens deserve credit, too, for they give the contrast and darker background that makes the deciduous trees seem all the brighter. As the shorter days and cooler weather cause the trees to stop producing chlorophyll (which has a dominant green color), the other pigments in the leaves begin to show through. In effect, the deciduous trees slow down at the end of the season, storing food in the roots and the leaves food-making work is over. Different varieties of trees turn different colors and it is this glorious combination that makes autumn so special. Although the different species of trees are responsible for the color, equally important (from a visual perspective) is the lay of the land. It is the hills and valleys that provide the vistas where a wide array of brilliant hues are splashed before us.
In open meadows all across the countryside, wildflowers add their beauty to the fall. Yellow tones of goldenrod, pink and purple Joe-Pye weed and violet astors seem to enjoy the last strong rays of the sun. Even one of the conifers, the cone-bearing tamarack, gets in on the act, when its lacy foliage turns yellow before dropping off. Migrating birds and butterflies touch down for a rest on their way south and hawks ride the thermals above ridgetops as they, too, head for warmer weather. All the while, the combination of cool nights and shorter days keeps the deciduous trees on their march toward peak color.
