Are you looking for some stunning fall foliage views this season? You’ll have to battle it out with the thousands of other leaf-peepers who flock to Vermont as soon as the temperature drops. Unless, however, you know about this easy and fun way to see some of the best leaves in the state.

The Bennington Battle Monument in Bennington, Vermont is a moving and beautiful memorial to one of the key battles of the American Revolution. It stands over 300 feet tall and has a stark beauty that’s truly eye-catching.

What’s also eye-catching is the view from the top! Locals and savvy travelers know that climbing to the top of the monument affords panoramic views around Bennington.

You can climb the monument much more easily than you’d imagine. Rather than forcing you to trudge up countless steps, there’s a zippy elevator that will take you right to the top.

Once there, you’ll be awed by the beautiful fall foliage all around. On a clear day, it’s possible to see all the way to New York and Massachusetts.

Be sure to bring your camera to capture the stunning atmosphere. The grounds down below are also wonderfully maintained and ideal for a post-monument stroll.

And of course, it would be foolish to leave without stopping by the gift shop. There you’ll find a wide selection of Vermont-made gifts and baubles that are sure to please.
