The fall colors are starting to change and there really isn't a bad place to see it happen! All over the state trees will soon be awash in bold reds, bright yellow and sweet orange hues. If we didn't love summer so much, we'd say this was the best time of the year to be a Granite Stater. If you love this time of year as much as we do, be sure to see as much of the changing leaves as possible. Starting with this special vantage point.
Loon Mountain is a pretty popular winter destination, but visiting in the fall will give you type of views that just don't exist once the snow starts to fall.
Buy your ticket and hop aboard!
The Loon Mountain gondola is the longest in the state, going from the bottom of Loon Mountain all the way up to it's 2,733-foot summit.
The views begin the moment you arrive at Loon Mountain Resort, which means you'll be surrounded by fall foliage as soon as you step inside.
Time your visit right and you'll be completely surrounded by the kind of fall colors that only New England can provide.
As you head upwards towards the top of the mountain, the views of the White Mountains seem to go on forever. Not to takeaway from the moment, but if you're curious this would be a good time to take out a map to try to identify the mountains all around you.
Last fall was one of the best on record and this year the state is expected to see even more vibrant colors.
After arriving at the top, you can choose to head right back down. But we recommend you stay and enjoy yourself for a while!
There's a beautiful observation platform as well as a number of glacial caves and trails to take.
Once you've taken it all in, head back down to plan your next visit!
