Vermont Foliage Fayston

Fall Foliage in the Mad River Valley
October 05, 2010

The Mad River Valley is always a perfect place to enjoy fall foliage. During the fall, the hillsides in this scenic area of central Vermont are particularly bright with shades of red, orange and gold.

I typically drive along the back roads of Waitsfield, Warren and Fayston for an annual leaf-peeping outing.  One place where I spend much of my time in the fall with my camera is Bragg Hill, a road between Waitsfield and Fayston that climbs to the west and offers views of Sugarbush Resort’s Mount Ellen.

Judging from the top photo, I think it’s safe to say that the Mad River Valley does not disappoint during foliage season.

    This route is my daily commute. To watch the changing seasons on a daily basis is the coolest.

    Hi Larry — I love that barn! I think it’s actually for sale. It’s so beautiful.

    Hi Susan — You are so lucky! What a beautiful road — one of the most beautiful in VT.

    She — I know! It’s a gorgeous spot in every season.

    Kritter – I am so glad you enjoyed the photos of the barn. It’s really such a magnificent place, and I can see why your grandfather was drawn to the area. I love it there.

    Hi Larry – We have had some wind and rain too, but the leaves have held on in a lot of the valleys.
