Beaver Pond and Sugar Hill New Hampshire and Stannard VT Fall Foliage

I took a three day weekend trip up to VT this past weekend. We drove up Rte 93 North and took exit 32 in Lincoln NH. From here we took Rte 112 West from Woodstock NH. Rte 112 West runs through Kinsman Notch and it's always a pretty drive. Along the way I stopped to photograph at Beaver Pond. The foliage colors are still early in this area, but they look promising. We are waiting for a cold front to come through the end of this week. This cold weather is what the leaves need to get the colors to "pop'. It is incredibly unseasonably HOT here in New England right now.

From here we headed back along Rte 112 West. Fall colors in this area are still early, but they are coming along nicely. We then turned onto Rte 116 towards Sugar Hill NH. There were some very nice colors along this road. Lots of reds. We then took Toad Hill Road which also had some very nice early color.

St Matthews Church Rte 117 Sugar Hill NH:

We then had breakfast at Pollys Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill and then headed North to Vermont. We took some back roads out of Lyndonville. Colors still early.......to Stannard Mountain Road which brings you up and over to Stannard VT. Stopped at Flagg Pond. Colors here are coming along but look rather dull. I'm hoping they will get more vibrant when the cold snap comes along.

From here went to one of the best breweries located along a remote country road. Hill Farmstead Brewery was rated number one brewery in the world on Ratemybeer.com a few years ago. From here took Rte 116North from Greensboro to Barton, The colors along Rte 116 are looking pretty good with lots of reds. Just waiting for the cold snap to get them kick started.
