Fall Foliage in Vermont

October 11, 2009

Columbus day weekend is considered generally the peak for Vermont foliage.   It rained this morning, but cleared up in the early afternoon, so Linda, Maggie and I took a ride to Richmond, VT onto Huntington Road south to VT route 17 across Appalachian gap.   This is one of the most beautiful drives in the state, particularly on a day like today.  I’ve also included some photos of the Round Church in Richmond.  I cut off the cupola… sorry.

I’ve cycled the route that we took today.  It’s about 55 miles in length and quite hilly.  The gap itself is for me, a very hard climb on the bicycle, but the ride down is quite sweet, and very, very fast.  Definitely worth the time and trouble.
