MAINE!! Take that from a lifelong Mass. resident. We drove up Rt. 1 along the coast then north back highways to Katadhin, the mountain at the top of the Appalachian trail, and I have NEVER seen such vivid and continuous color in my life, and I am over 55. Plenty of forgotten American history, like the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War in Machias, where, also, the river is beautiful any season.
Love your videos. Makes me miss my Dad and brings back wonderful memories of our trips together. He planned summer trips for our family for years while I was growing up… and he really appreciated going on trips I planned as an adult. These included a backpacking trip to Yellowstone, two Route 66 roadtrips, and hiking trip of the circuit of High Sierra camps in Yosemite as a retirement gift. Enjoy your times together!
One tip. i always go into Google Maps and download the area I'm traveling to for offline use. As long as you have GPS reception (which should be always) you can search for locations and get directions.
3:42 This is Sleepy Hollow Farm. Just a heads up Cloudland Road,which is the dirt road where the farm is located will be CLOSED to tourists from late September to mid October 2023 due to some tourists being disrespectful to private property, leaving trash,and being verbally abusive to locals living nearby. Also its been very rainy this summer and most hiking trails will be wet and muddy. If you plan on stretching your legs with a little hike ,maybe bring some extra socks,shoes. This video is one of the more informative posts I've seen on the subject,really well done. I live in Vermont and fall is my favorite season so I can hardly wait!
@da8wonder I live in the south western part of the state and usually take Columbus Day week off. Up in the mountains might be a bit past peak but still pretty.
I loved that video but I get all of the beautiful fall foliage I need here in Northern New Jersey. There are beautiful mountains here and in lower Ny state.
Really helpful. We are travelling to Boston, Vermont and New Hampshire at the beginning of October, so your videos have been super informative. Thank you.
The Phone tip is priceless! Many mapping applications like Google maps and Apple Maps. Allow you to download an area and keep it off-line. I’m gonna make sure I do that before I get to New Hampshire. Thank you. Vs
We were there about the same time you were, but in our small trailer. Our month or so in New England was one of our most expensive time periods in the last year and a half of full-timing. Campgrounds were pricey and I had a $22 glass of wine in Bar Harbor. Not even a nice glass and it was in a plastic cup 🤣 BUT fall there was magical! In New Hampshire we had a lakefront site and I was 100% mesmerized by the reflections of the trees. Just stunning! Bummer we didn’t run in to you somewhere! Fantastic video as always Josh.
You would make an excellent teacher, or professor. ***You're so interesting, do thorough research, have EXPERIENCED what you share with us, and present info so well. Thank you, for your ALWAYS enjoyable videos, Josh and "Pops"...I hope that's okay.🤞👏👏🍃🍁🍂
I was there a week before you and drove up to Mt Washington. I was surprised to see the the difference in climate between what you experienced and what my daughter and I experienced. Ours was sunny and not too cold. My daughter planned our trip which included the high points of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. I definitely want to return and do some of the things you did on your trip. Being from the Evergreen State, New England in the Fall is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. So beautiful.
I just found your channel. The video I watched was with your dad on the Kancamagus Highway. I gave a like when your dad was singing. He's cool😊 God bless, Karen
Dude I swear, you are like the young & cool version of "Rick Steve's Europe" (but in America!) I totally enjoy the information you share about the places you go. Thank you for making your videos!
All wonderful advice, and yes cell service absolutely sucks here and its EXPENSIVE! But worth the beauty!!! Go on weekdays!!! Its insanely busy here, the entire city of Boston literally comes to NH on the weekends .
thanks for the video! i think it's also expensive b/c these are smaller new england towns vs big metropolitan cities where they have more hotels/accomodations. more hotels = more competition, so prices will be lower.
Wow, never would have guessed about the cell phone reception! Any plans on doing a full video on your favorite short Fall hike, just to give more of the full experience?
Want multitudes of red trees? Machias area Maine “Downeast”! Completely dazzling!!! No lie. I have lived in N.E., Mass., all of my life, seen many areas in autumn, and never anything to match it. #1 GORGEOUS. You’ll never forget it.
When i grew up in Mass the only thing those yellow and red leaves meant was, how many bags of leaves do we need to rake this year? lol Love the videos !
We are taking a trip this Oct (2023) about the same time you were there. Did you have to pay to get into any of the parks and to walk around the Trapp family Resort? Thanks for the info. I added a few things to my trip I saw on here.
Generally most of these are town, state or federal. I believe just about everything along the kancamangous is free. You should look them up before you go to be certain.
I bought your ebook, which I think is a great idea so I don't have to try to write furiously as you're talking. 😀 One question I had was about the app you used, the Gypsy Guide. Did that download everything to your phone so it didn't matter that the internet was cutting out, or was it a problem using it when there was no connection? FYI, the link at the bottom wasn't clickable, but the QR code works. Thanks for the information!
hola soy de argentina y quisiera hacer la ruta que hiciste con tu papa (the perfect new england fall colors road trip: kancamagus ) me podrías mandar el itinerario para ponerlo en el gps, muchas gracias
For anyone Interested in fall foliage drives in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, checkout ‘Visitor Guide to the White Mountains’. Seven of the best foliage drives are recommended.
@@marknapiorkowski I’m curious what northern or central Vermont and New Hampshire looks like during that time, I know it will be past peak but I wonder how far past and if theirs still great color, as much as I love the peak colors I do appreciate the rustier tones, deeper oranges, yellows and even browns that the oaks show and the bright colors of fall colors still left on the maple trees while they’re falling off. Seeing the leaves on the ground is also a pretty site and the leaves showering over top of you while you’re walking through the forest.

Do you think the early October is a good time for Vermont foliage?

I love the trips you and your dad take. You give all the in's and outs of traveling and make wonderful videos!!! Thank You for what you do!
Great travel tips . . . just might try to go this upcoming year! Many, many thanks! I always enjoy your travels . . . yes, I do!

Thanks for sharing these tips. After seeing the full video I've added it to the bucket list
Very informative, great job, Josh. This trip is definitely on my bucket list. 🙌🏼

You are the best! Thank you for all your informative and enjoyable travel videos.
Sometimes the Atlas or a road map can work in poor signal areas.
Blessed to be a New Englander.
Thank you so much for this video. I would love to go see this sometime and it helps kmowing when and where to go
im psyched about my new england fall trip next week!!!!!!!

Thank you - excellent, helpful info!! :)
Should you include food in the cost? You would have to eat whether you are on a road trip or not.
I enjoy your videos so much..amazimg places and landscapes..lots of information about the places..and also your voice is so calming
Go to West Virginia next!
Nice!
❤️
Do you have an outline of the routes you took on this trip?

Wow.. beautiful 😍
Can I ask if you're from Ontario, California?
Great video ❤
raking it up stinks....but if you want the full experience you can rake mine
Is Halloween a good time?
Only the southern part of New Emgland ,if you're lucky. Maybe around the coast or Cape Cod.

@ethansongs222 Alot of naked trees,but the ground will be colorful.
@@marknapiorkowski I’ve noticed the oaks tend to color later, how do usually look?
@@hot_guy997 they're mostly gone by Halloween .
California? I thought you were from Texas
🤩🫶🤝
Pah, he mentioned New York again. This is about New England.
Well part of his trip was in New York.
Thank you so much!!!
