We took this trip in the fall of 2005, hoping to see the autumn foliage. Somewhat unfortunate for us, the foliage came later this year and we were ahead of the peak. Nevertheless, we saw spectacular scenery along the way.
A quintessential New England scene — a covered bridge in Woodstock, Vermont:
Lake Champlain:
Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire:
Moonscape on top of the White Mountains:
Crystal Cascades at the foot of the White Mountains:
