Fall colors - 2009

hi frens,
i am planning to make a trip to maine/NH for fall foliage this season in nov first week.
is this a good time? will the fall colors be over its peak by then?i know oct is the best month for this but its not possible this month. that's the reason i want to go atleast next month.

The leaves are pretty much gone in my area and NH would be going earlier than us. Here the height is usually the first week in October. You will have to enjoy fall colors down there in NJ and go north next year. BTW, the temps up here this month have been running 12 degrees lower than normal.

your post rewind me of the fall colors that i enjoyed... Still in my eyes... Such a beautiful experience..

Neha,

NH has almost crossed th Peak ! Maine would have finish with theirs long ago.. Last weekend was a good one for fall at NH..

Try going this weekend.. November is too late.. It will rain by then and there will be no leaves left ! So pack bags and hurry !

Have a lovely view !

Try googling for Berkshires in MA too.. Heard it is very good ! Because for us, this weekend and the next are peak ! :)

Thank you tashidelek,brindaarun,drpreethis.

Go over to the Poconos...that is easiest. Also you will see leaves on trip over.

Oh Neha,
I think you've just missed it this year to see the beautiful colors of NH..
I went to Kancamagus Hwy (NH) last week and most of the leaves were already fallen.. However when we went thru another HWY.. 302.. It was just awesome.. I wanna add some pics here for you...
