Autumn Rambles of New England: An Explorer's Guide to the Best Fall Colors

With a goal of compiling the best places to view the amazing blaze of autumn color that New England is known for, brothers Michael and Mark Tougias offer 15 easy-to-follow routes in six states. Hand-drawn maps lead the rambler through some of the best (and often lesser-known) areas for finding free fall shows in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.





Highlights are listed for each of the tours, and for Route 169 these include hayrides, hilltop views, quiet villages, the Prudence Crandall Museum, Roseland Cottage, Old Trinity Church, pumpkin picking, a wolf's den, Golden Lamb at Hillandale Farm, art museums, apple orchards, and the Brayton Gristmill.
