Cows enjoying the season	A typical forest road	Views from Ituni Lodge

The Fall Issue of Vermont Life magazine for 2004 has the best description we have seen about how to enjoy the change of seasons in Vermont.

"Vermont is not about hurrying. If ever the journey counted more than the destination, it's on a beautiful fall day, meandering through the Green Mountains, soaking up sunshine and peace. We hope you'll take the time to drive..stopping frequently and making side excursions as the fancy strikes you.

Stop, make time for a walk down a mountain trail or a village street, spend some time talking with the people you meet in country stores along the way and stop at the farmers' markets and roadside stands. Go slow. It's a great way to enjoy our most beautiful season - and it's the only way to really get to know Vermont." - Tom Slayton

Use your Jay Peak area vacation rental as a base to explore the splendour of fall foliage in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. You'll create memories to last a life time! Take a fall foliage tour and discover Vermont in the fall.

Here is Vermont Life Magazine's Fall Foliage Tour entitled "Mountains and Bridges of the Borderline"

Jay Peak, the great sentinel of the north, is the axis around which this hilly tour navigates. You'll also see some pretty farm and forest-land and visit Montgomery, covered bridge capital of Vermont.

Begin in Enosburg Falls, once the home of the famed patent horse medicine, Kendall's Spavin Cure. The medicine was a national sensation and Enosburg Falls became prosperous as a result. Evidence of that era remains, in the Enosburg Falls Opera House, recently restored, which features performances year-round. Leave Enosburg by heading east on Route 105 to East Berkshire, where you'll pick up 118 East to Montgomery and Montgomery Center. There are seven covered bridges scattered through the hills in Montgomery and it's worth an afternoon to inquire locally and find them all.

Farther along, a mountain adventure awaits you. Leave Montgomery Center on Route 58, driving east towards Hazens Notch and Lowell. The road up to the notch is scenic, and steep! Stop in the notch and look for the stone marker that designates the end of the Bayley-Hazen Road, a Revolutionary War-era road that later provided settlers a way into these rugged hills (it's on the south side of the road, near the Long Trail crossing). If you have the time, fall is a lovely season for a short hike through the woods on the Long Trail.

Continue your drive east, down out of the notch to Lowell, where you'll turn north (left) on Route 100 to Westfield and Troy, where you'll pick up Route 101 and continue north to its junction with Route 105. Turn left again, onto Route 105, and head back over the Green Mountains, now dominated by Jay Peak off to the south. Follow 105 west over the height of land and back down the western slope of the mountains to Richford.

Conclude your tour by following Route 105 back down the valley of the Missisquoi River to Enosburg Falls, where you began.
