Vermont Fall Color
Use the Vermont fall foliage map to track estimated color conditions from the Champlain Valley to the Green Mountains. The interactive slider helps compare early, peak, and past-peak color timing across the state so you can plan a 2026 Vermont leaf-peeping trip with more confidence.
Vermont fall color is usually most dramatic where sugar maples, birches, beeches, and aspens mix across changing elevation. Stowe, Smugglers' Notch, Woodstock, Manchester, the Northeast Kingdom, and Route 100 can all peak at different times, so a statewide view is more useful than relying on one town or one fixed weekend.
Finding Peak Color in Vermont
Vermont fall color is usually most dramatic where sugar maples, birches, beeches, and aspens mix across changing elevation. Stowe, Smugglers' Notch, Woodstock, Manchester, the Northeast Kingdom, and Route 100 can all peak at different times, so a statewide view is more useful than relying on one town or one fixed weekend.
For the best results, use this map to compare broad regional timing, then check a specific town, park, or scenic drive with the fall foliage forecast. Mountain gaps and higher ridges may turn earlier than nearby valleys, while lower elevations can hold useful color after the first peak has passed.
