Editors Notes

Alongside bright yellows, fiery oranges and vibrant reds – the secret to Vermont's spectacular seasonal displays is in the sugar: With over three quarters of the State forested, and the highest percentage of Maple trees in the North East – it's the drop in temperature that causes the maple leaves to produce Vermont's unusual hints of pink and purple in its fall colours.
