The Village is hopping, the leaves are popping, and the weather is just right. I was chatting with a fellow foliage reporter yesterday, and we came to the conclusion that there\u2019s really no wrong way to enjoy leaf peeping, besides maybe going blindfolded. So, find a road or trail less traveled, bring a snack and your camera, and enjoy the local beauty in whichever way suits you. Locally, I would say that from a birds-eye view, we are nearly peak foliage colors, but as you explore beneath the canopy, you\u2019ll find lots of green still present. An insider tip from the north side of Smugglers\u2019 Notch, if you\u2019re looking to explore the caves, go for a hike, or even just drive through the pass, make a plan to do it early in the morning. Stowe and The Notch will become quite busy as the sun gets higher in the sky, and chances are you just drove away from traffic, so why would you want to sit in it again? On-site here at the Resort, as well as in Jeffersonville and Cambridge, there\u2019s ample opportunity to take in the foliage and have your perfect fall experience. Do yourself a favor and plug \u201cBryce Road\u201d into your GPS; you\u2019ll thank me later.<\/p>\n
