It’s one of our favorite times of the year. As the weather chills, we dream about winter and start to don puffy jackets and sip warm beverage. But the best part, we get to watch the Green Mountains of Vermont transform into a colorful canvas of reds and golds. Peak foliage in Vermont may be the best time of year to hike and take in the scenery, and it is just around the corner at Vermont resorts.

Here are a few sneak peeks of color now popping on Vermont peaks, from south to north. Remember our southern peaks turn later than the northern ones, so you’ll see a nice progression as you scroll down.
