Fall Foliage Travel in the Northeast

Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009

When the mercury begins to drop and leaves begin to magically transform from summer greens to radiant oranges, yellows and reds...it must be fall.

There is no better place to take it all in than the Northeast. From mid-September through October, thousands flock to this historic, colorful part of the world to see it for themselves.

Be it a cruise among the glistening waters of the Atlantic or a land tour on more solid ground, the Northeast has never been hotter. Tourism has grown in the area, and there is more to see and do than ever.
