What is autumn in Vermont like?
Vermont is known as the Evergreen State, but never, ever underestimate its majesty in the fall. Some of our favorite things about fall in Vermont are:
- The fall color in Vermont is unlike anywhere else in the world.
- Autumn is a time of pure, chilly magic. Temperatures begin dropping come mid to late September, and by mid-October the trees and foliage will be awash with blazing color. We feel like September/October is the best time to visit Vermont! Expect chilly nights and dry, pleasant days. Sweater weather is definitely a thing here!
- Autumn is one of the best times for camping in Vermont, and you’ll find it never gets too hot or too cold.
