There are too many destinations to list that offer fiery
fall foliage along with beautiful days and crisp cool nights ideal for any
travel vacation. One of the best ways to experience the fall palette and
interesting out-of-the-way places is traveling the colorful roadways of scenic
highways.
Vermont
Vermont has several scenic highways with interesting stops
along the way at historic points, farms, museums, and attractions.

- Mount Snow Loop – 100 miles – In the Jacksonville/Halifax area, take a break from sightseeing and stop in at the Honora Winery and Tasting Room for refreshments. Venture on towards Mount Snow and take the Mount Snow chair lift open on the weekends during the fall and summer.
