with one particular tree in my driveway dropping yellow leaves like it was already october, i can't help but start planning a few fall trips in new england! because i was still settling in last fall, i was hardly able to scratch the surface of fall activities, walks & drives i want to do.
new england in the fall is absolutely exquisite ~ my favorite time of year to be here
so i'm starting a list! each of these is an easy sunday activity, not too far of a drive,
& could make for a perfect fall weekend
mt tom state park, litchfield ct ~ one of the closer state parks
gilette castle, inspired by a medieval german fortress, is right on the connecticut river
long beach in stratford, for when i need a relaxing beach stroll
b.f. clyde's cider mill , the oldest steam powered cider mill in the u.s.a! it's in old mystic, another town i've had on my list for the past year, and near to old saybrook and essex
the east coast greenway is basically a network of trails in the northeast corner of the state...it's the most rural pocket of land between boston and d.c.!
now going into new york state...i found this pedestrian walkway that spans the hudson river last fall, but we never made the trip up as it's a bit far out.
a little closer is bear mountain state park, also across the hudson
this is the map i'll be going by this fall, to help me plan ahead the trips i really want to take during peak foliage.
now all i'll need is a pumpkin spice latte, riding boots, a cozy sweater & camera :)
