New England’s fall foliage dazzles for two big reasons: a forest full of color-loving trees like sugar maples, oaks, and birches—especially the sugar maple, which can turn red, orange, and yellow all at once—and dramatic mountain views that let you see it all unfold. Thanks to historic logging practices that favored sugar maples for syrup, these trees thrived and spread. This year’s peak? Northern New England hits first, around October 1st, with southern areas following in late October. As days shorten, chlorophyll fades, revealing brilliant hues before leaves drop for winter.

Vermont just soared seven spots to rank 22 as the happiest state in America, thanks to stellar work-life balance, community vibes, and top-notch sleep and fitness habits — all while beating out Florida and Kansas. Hawaii leads the pack, followed by New Jersey and Utah, but Vermont’s strong economy, low unemployment, and high median income prove happiness isn’t just about money — it’s about how well life’s pieces fit together.
