Travel Deals: Northeast Predicts Great Foliage - In Transit Blog ...

Tomato growers may be unhappy, but the heavy rain that doused much of the Northeast in early summer is expected to create spectacular red, orange and gold foliage this fall.

That’s the hope, anyway, among New England tourism officials, who are trying to entice leaf peepers with deals that include everything from free golf to pints of maple syrup.

Our favorite way to be a New England “leaf peeper” is to rent a timeshare (we like to use http://www.redweek.com , - they have many to choose from all through New England). We use that as home-base, and do day “road trips” out and about. This gives us the chance to see a lot of the stunning country-side, enjoy some of the fall festivals, and even go apple-picking! We’ve visited New Hampshire and Vermont, and this year we just got back from Maine (the leaves turn a little earlier there).
