Where's the best fall foliage? You tell us!

My vote is for New Hampshire. Start in the quaint city of Portsmouth and work your way up north on Route 16 into the White Mountains. Maybe take a side trip to Lake Winnipesaukee and marvel at the amazingly clear water.

Along the way, you'll see the most impressive leaves turning before your eyes. Oct. 5th to the 25th works well for timing purposes, I've found.

Hi Kent,

How far is that from Boston? I'm going to be in Boston from October 16-19th and am looking for some good fall foliage driving suggestions within a 3-4 hour range from the Boston area.

Hi Brenda!

Portsmouth is just under an hour from the Logan airport. Straight north on I-95. Take Exit 7, which is just before crossing the bridge into Maine (a place you'll have to check out as well).

Your timing might be just perfect! That's right at the peak 'leaf peeping' season.

Excellent! Living in Cali, sometimes I forget how close everything is in New England. I've got my car already rented, and I'm going to check it out!

Thanks Kent! :)

Well now, in 4 hours you can go to the Canadian boarder. in VT 93 to 89. In 4 hours Kakamangus Highway across the White Mountains and with good timing go to the top of Mount Washington.
