It’s been said that there’s nothing quite as beautiful as New Hampshire foliage in the cool clear days of autumn. If you’ve seen the countryside patchwork of brilliant reds, oranges and yellows, then you, too, have to agree that it is a special time of year in a special place. If you have never traveled to our fair state in the fall, we invite you to join us for a leisurely visit. While you are here be sure to enjoy some of the delightful offerings of our local farms, attractions and parks. Following are some ideas to get you started, and links to help you plan your visit.

• Visit a local farm and pick your own pumpkins.

• Enjoy fresh-pressed cider your favorite way: refreshingly cold or soothingly warm!

• Check out one of New Hampshire’s wineries for some wine tasting (or a Harvest Fest and Grape Stomp!)

• View the foliage from a different perspective, via a horseback, wagon or chairlift ride.
