Best places in New England to catch the changing leaves this fall


There's a whole world of adventure dedicated to watching the leaves change in New England. And it might not quite make sense to those who haven't witnessed the glory that is fall in the eastern United States. It's unlike anything; it's surreal is what it is.

There are leagues of hills, small mountains, river valleys, and even neighborhood roads filled to the brim with an immense amount of trees. If you grew up anywhere else but the East Coast, you'll be utterly amazed. Come take a locum tenens assignment in New England. While you're at it book a fall foliage tour. Or take to the open road yourself and explore the true beauty of fall.

Milan Hill State Park

Located in New Hampshire, Milan Hill State Park is definitely a can't-miss. People often tend to flock to more notable spots in New Hampshire instead of this lovely place. That's good news for you. Climb to the fire tower to catch views of an entire valley filled with immaculate golds, reds and yellows.

Peaks Island

Just three miles offshore from Portland, Maine, Peaks Island is one in a million. Take a 20-minute ferry ride and all along the way you'll discover resplendent autumn views of Portland and the island itself. We recommend booking a golf-cart tour right away once you reach the island.

Berkshires

The Berkshires in western Massachusetts are better known when it comes to fall foliage. People from around the world come here to see what's so great about fall in New England. We doubt anyone is ever disappointed. The best way to experience the Berkshires? Rent a car, take to the winding roads and try your best not to blink too much.
