No place on Earth matches Vermont for scenic and fall foliage drives

Vermont is awesomely beautiful all year, but maybe particularly in its famous fall foliage season, when tourists and vacationers flock to the state to see the glories of the changing leaves. A scenic drive through Vermont is wonderful for vacationers, tourists, and families in any season.
