Each year, travelers from across the nation arrive in New York to experience the unparalleled bounty and beauty of a fabled autumn in the State. They are welcomed by a spectacular displayof vibrant fall colors that people also experience in New England.You can too now experience the Autumn Fall in New York State, as several European Tour operators now offering fly drive tours in the State Regions, as well as day trips in the Regions as

 part of a New York City stay.

The foliage in New York State–with its leaves of every possible shade of red, yellow, gold andorange–is legendary. Thickly-wooded rolling hills and steep mountainsides create a fiery

 patchwork of colors against an azure sky that is simply unforgettable.

From New York City to Niagara Falls, you will be able to experience all the colors of Autumn,including Boldt Castle in the Thousand Island region, open for tours in October. Let someoneelse do the driving and hop on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad – www.adirondackrr.com , a 20mile round trip from Lake Placid to the City of Saranac Lake, and take in the Autumn colorsthat will leave a lasting impression.

 Niagara Falls is one of the natural wonders of the world, so imagine the view of the Falls andmarvel at its power against the seasonal background of Autumn.The Catskills Region and Hudson Valley will also offer an alternative fly drive stays that youcan take advantage of, consider visiting the Vanderbilt Mansion or Hyde Park and marvel in the

 National Historic sights, as well as Culinary Institute of America, where the next generation of chefs train with the masters.

 New York State offers an ideal place to experience the Autumn Fall, with festivals to celebratethis season in all Regions of New York, so do not miss out on what New Yorkers already know,

 New York State is the Jewel of Autumn in the USA.

See the leaves at their boldest and brightest!

If you're one who likes to plan ahead, use this helpful map to figure out when is the best time tosee New York's breathtaking foliage at its peak.

Average Periods of Best Foliage Color in New York State

1. Last two weeks in September 2. Last week in September, first week in October 3. First two weeks in October 4. Second and third weeks in October

How to See New England Fall Foliage at Its Peak

1. The unpredictable factors that influence the rate at which leaves change colors are rain,

the amount of sugar in the leaves, the number of daylight hours and temperatures.2. Peak foliage in New England works its way down from the north. The further north yougo, the earlier the peak.

7/27/2019 viaje NY 10-10

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/viaje-ny-10-10 6/22

3. For Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, your best bet is anywhere from the last week of September through the first week or two of October.

4. The three-day weekend around the  Columbus Day holiday is often associated with peak foliage in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island, but there areno guarantees.

5. A violent storm can rip the leaves from the trees before they ever truly reach their peak.

6. Foliage updates are available  online and   by phone  for the New England states and New York--calling ahead once the season is in progress is never a bad idea.

7. Living in New England is a sure-fire way to catch leaves at their peak. While that mightnot be a viable option for you, in general, the longer you plan to stay in New England inthe fall, the better your chances of seeing peak color.

8. Be mobile. Driving to or renting a car once you have arrived in New England can openup your opportunities for going to where the best leaves are.

9. You'll find differing conditions along major highways, near bodies of water and in themountains--plan your itinerary to include varied terrain.

10. Be flexible. If you live within driving distance of New England and do not need to book overnight accommodations, wait to decide to make the drive once you've checked that

conditions are prime.11. If you've selected desired accommodations, ask the innkeeper or hotel desk clerk when

"normal" peak times occur at that location.Tips:

1. Make your trip about more than just leaves so that you won't be disappointed. There’s

more to autumn fun in New England than peak foliage. Sip hot cider, pick apples, take

a hay ride, hike, bike or attend a festival. Keep in mind, too, that even a hint of color 

can be beautiful.2. If you will need overnight accommodations, make reservations well in advance. Do

 NOT attempt to head for New England on the spur of the moment assuming you'll beable to find a place to stay.

3. Don't forget your camera so that you can relive your "peak moments" and share themwith others.

The general rule of thumb is--if you're coming early in the season, go north. If you're comingtoward the tail end of normal peak times, stay south.

Go West for Maine's Best Fall Leaf Peeping

Bethel, Maine, makes a great fall foliage home base for travelers seeking to experience all of thewonders of autumn in northern New England. Here is a guide to Bethel including lodging,dining, nearby scenic drives, local attractions, fall day trip ideas, fun fall festivals and eventsand other travel information for those who want to enjoy autumn in Maine's Western Lakes and

Mountains region.

Litchfield, Connecticut, is Lovely for Leaves

Litchfield, Connecticut, makes a great fall foliage home base for travelers who want to seeautumn's glory in western New England. Here is a quick guide to the town of Litchfieldincluding accommodations, dining, nearby scenic drives, local attractions, fall day trip ideas,fun fall festivals and events and other essential travel information for those who want to enjoyautumn in the Litchfield Hills.

The Bounty of Bennington

Located just 140 miles from Boston, 200 miles from New York City, and 125 miles fromHartford, Bennington, Vermont, tucked away in the Green Mountain State's southwest corner, is

7/27/2019 viaje NY 10-10

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/viaje-ny-10-10 7/22

a perfect and central destination as New England begins to put on its annual parade of changingautumn hues. It's also an ideal destination if you'd like to see covered bridges.

Late to the Fall?Try The Cape If You're Going to Be Late

A lot of folks ask me if they'll see leaves during the last week of October or even into early November. The chances aren't great, but I always advise them to try Cape Cod, where theocean's moderating effect on temperatures can help the leaves hang on for a bit longer. My CapeGuide can help you explore that option.

It's time to take a step backward and figure out how exactly you'll be getting to New Englandand how you'll get around once you arrive. A car is almost a complete necessity. For starters,

 backroads scenic driving is one of the most popular fall foliage pastimes. Second, publictransportation in New England isn't exactly prevalent once you get outside of big cities such as

Boston, and cities aren't where you'll want to be during this time of year anyway. If you won'thave a car, an organized trip is likely your best bet for experiencing autumn in New England.

The Catskills: Immortal Mountains

A Catskill Mountains Scenic Driving Tour from"Backroads of New York"

 book featuring directions, narrative, maps and photography for 28 scenic drives in New York 

State. Text © 2007 by Kim Knox Beckius. Published by Voyageur Press. All

Route From Catskill, follow New York State Route 23 West to Prattsville. Backtrack Route 23 East 

to State Route 23A East through the Catskill Park. When Route 23A East ends, follow U.S.

 Route 9W North to Route 23 East. Proceed across the Rip Van Winkle Bridge (toll), then turnright on State Route 9G South to the left-hand entrance for Olana State Historic Site.  

"Welcome to the land of Rip Van Winkle," reads a sign that greets motorists headed west on Route23 toward the looming mountain skyline. It was in these ancient, gray sandstone peaks, of course, that Washington Irving's likable character observed strange beings playing atninepins, quaffed their liquor, and then slept for a night that lasted twenty years. Storytellersand artists elevated these misty hills sheathed in boreal forests to mythological status long before the region became an accessible and popular vacationland. The legendary scenescaptured on canvas and recorded in fables spring to life as you follow the curvy path of thisskyward drive.

In East Windham, be sure to pull off Route 23 at Point Lookout. On clear days, this overlook besidethe dramatically situated Point Lookout Mountain Inn affords views of five states. As Route23 continues to climb, you'll enter the Catskill Park, a 700,000-acre area (almost as large as

Rhode Island) composed of private and public lands in four counties. Since the park wascreated in 1885, the state's holdings, protected within the Catskill Forest Preserve, have

7/27/2019 viaje NY 10-10

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/viaje-ny-10-10 8/22

expanded from 34,000 to nearly 300,000 acres. With ninety-eight peaks surpassing threethousand feet, the Catskills are one of New York's most popular winter destinations;Windham, home to the Windham Mountain ski area, is the first of several cheery ski townsyou'll encounter.

As you approach Prattsville, you'll see Pratt Rocks, one of the state's quirkiest attractions. Zadock 

Pratt, who came to the Catskills as a small boy, labored and scrimped until he could afford toopen a tannery on the Schoharie Creek, taking advantage of the abundance of hemlock bark,essential to the leather-making process. Within twenty years, he'd amassed a fortune, built anentire town, opened a bank where he minted his own money, and won a seat in Congress.According to local lore, when a panhandling stonecutter wandered through in 1843, Pratt gavehim fifty cents to carve his profile on a mountain ledge. Pleased with the result, hecommissioned his entire life story chiseled into the cliff face. Visitors who climb theserpentine inclines at Pratt Rocks will see a horse, a hemlock, and other symbols, includingPratt's coat of arms and motto: "Do Well and Doubt Not." What began as a monument tovanity became a memorial to Pratt's only son, George, a Civil War colonel, whose bust wasadded to the five-hundred-foot rock wall after he died at the Battle of Manassas. Without anheir to his empire, Pratt isn't remembered far beyond the boundaries of the town he

transformed, but in Prattsville, where his 1829 home is now the Zadock Pratt Museum, heremains a legend.

You'll pass public fishing areas as you follow Route 23A East along the trout-filled Schoharie Creek toward Hunter and Tannersville, two charming mountain towns that bustle with visitorsduring the winter ski, spring fly-fishing, summer festival, and fall leaf-peeping seasons atHunter Mountain. The eye-catching, cedar log complex you'll see on the left before you reachHunter is St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church. The 1962 basilica and other structures were built without nails, in traditional Ukrainian architectural style. Visitors cansample Ukrainian cuisine at the congregation's summer Sunday brunches.

As Route 23A descends into Haines Falls, watch for a left onto North Lake Road/County Road 18,

where you'll find the entrance to North-South Lake--a state beach, campground, and preserve.Hikers who follow the Escarpment Trail to landmark points like Artist's Rock and the site of the once-grand Catskill Mountain House--which counted three presidents among its eliteguests between 1824 and 1941--will enjoy views committed to canvas by Hudson River School painters including Thomas Cole, father of this first American school of landscape painting.

Kaaterskill Falls, New York's highest two-tiered waterfall and another oft-painted

scene, can be reached via a trail that diverges from the Escarpment Trail, or you can continue1.3 miles past North Lake Road on Route 23A to a right-hand-side parking area. Exercisecaution when you make your way along the road's slender shoulder to smaller Bastion Falls,

located at the trailhead for the rocky and rooty, moderate half-mile climb to Kaaterskill Falls.The 260-foot double cascade is at its most awe-inspiring in the spring, when melting snowand ice increase the rush of water spilling over rocky ledges. Route 23A takes someexhilarating S-turns as you continue your descent toward Catskill. Before you follow Route23 East across the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, turn left onto Spring Street/Route 385. Tours of Cedar Grove, Cole's home and studio, offer insight into the remarkable career of this largelyself-taught Englishman, whose first depictions of the Catskills, painted in 1825, took the NewYork City art world by storm. More than seventy other artists would follow Cole's lead,creating luminous and highly detailed paintings that engendered reverence for the beauty of uniquely American scenes.

After you cross to the east bank of the Hudson, visit the home of Frederic Edwin Church, Cole'sstudent and one of the school's most accomplished painters. Known for his colossal canvases,Church's largest work was Olana, the estate he created with the help of designer CalvertVaux. Influenced by the Moorish architecture he'd seen in the Middle East, Church fashioned

7/27/2019 viaje NY 10-10

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/viaje-ny-10-10 9/22

a home rich in texture and color, and he constructed and expanded it between 1870 and 1890.He also devoted considerable energy to designing the property's roads so that spectacular scenes of the Hudson and Catskills were calculatingly revealed.

As you savor these vistas, blissfully little altered by the passage of time, you'll realize that even if old Rip had slumbered for one hundred years, he still would have descended from the

mountains, stroking his beard in bewilderment, yet secure in the knowledge that "there stoodthe Kaatskill Mountains--there ran the silver Hudson."

Road Trip: Cape Cod, Massachusetts

 For more of the world's greatest driving tours, get National Geographic's new book  Drives of  a Lifetime.

A drive around Massachusetts' vintage Cape Cod serves up miles of beaches, restful resort towns— and, yes, lobster and clam shacks.

There are capes all along the New England coast, but when anyone talks of "the Cape," the meaningis immediately clear. This drive takes in virtually all of Cape Cod: the quiet villages along the

 bay side, the beautifully desolate dunelands of the outer Cape's national seashore, livelyProvincetown, and the busy resorts that face Nantucket Sound.

OverviewYou'll begin this 160-mile (257-kilometer) circuit at Cape Cod Canal, on the Cape's northerncoast, and follow the contour of Cape Cod Bay to the Cape's "elbow." From there you'll driftnorth to Provincetown, then retrace your way back south to Orleans. You'll proceed farther south to Chatham, then head back west toward the mainland, cruising through Hyannis andFalmouth.

Start in SagamoreCross the Sagamore Bridge from the mainland to Cape Cod. The first town will be Sagamore,

where the Pairpoint Glass Company carries on the local tradition of hand blowing lead crystalinto functional and decorative items. Visitors can watch artisans blow, shape, and finishglassware.

SandwichProceed east from Sagamore to Sandwich, the oldest town on the Cape. Settled by Puritans in1637, this town flourished in the 19th century as a glass-making center. The many kinds of decorative and table glass—clear and colored, blown and pressed, cut and engraved—madeSandwich famous. The Sandwich Glass Museum preserves much of the best works from alldifferent eras. Reproductions are available in the gift shop. Across Sandwich's tree-shadedvillage center stands the beautifully preserved Hoxie House, which dates from the 1600s andmay very well be the Cape's oldest saltbox house. Also dating from the 17th century, the

adjacent water-powered Dexter Grist Mill still turns out delicious stone-ground (organic)cornmeal, which can be purchased on site. On nearby Shawme Pond, the Thornton W.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/viaje-ny-10-10 10/22

Burgess Museum honors the Sandwich native who wrote The Adventures of Peter Cottontail 

and other classic animal stories for children. The author's colonial-era home contains earlyeditions, original Harrison Cady illustrations, and a gift shop filled with Burgess books. Seton the manicured grounds of a former estate just outside town, the Heritage Museums andGardens of Sandwich showcase all kinds of reconstructed historic buildings. Among the manyexhibits is a working 1912 carousel, Currier & Ives lithographs, military firearms, and one of 

the nation's finest collections of classic automobiles. A look at Gary Cooper's 1930Duesenberg alone is worth the price of admission (and a good deal more).

Yarmouth PortProceed east from Sandwich along Sandy Neck beach (off Sandy Neck Road), a splendid barrier beach of low dunes; a 6.2-mile (ten-kilometer) trail leads to the Sandy Neck Light.Back on Mass. Route 6A is Barnstable, settled in 1639 and for years thriving on fish caught inthe Great Banks. In the 1800s, scores of sea captains lived in town; many of their houses stillstand. Continue to the Yarmouth Port, part of greater Yarmouth. Longtime resident MaryThacher bequeathed her collection of 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century furniture, along with thecirca 1780 Winslow Crocker House, to the Society for the Preservation of New EnglandAntiquities. Nearby, the oriental treasures carried home by its sea captain owner fill the 1840

Greek Revival Captain Bangs Hallet House.

 Nickerson State Park From Yarmouth stay on Mass. Route 6A through Dennis and Brewster, which boasts more19th-century homes of sea captains. Also here: the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History,with exhibits on Cape ecosystems. Continue on to Cape Cod's most expansive inland preserve, Nickerson State Park, encompassing nearly 2,000 acres (809 hectares) of rolling pine forest dotted with freshwater ponds. Options include hiking, fishing, swimming, bikeriding; a trail connects to the 22-mile (35-kilometer) Cape Cod Rail Trail.

Cape Cod National SeashoreProceed through Orleans, which is edged by some of the Cape's best beaches, including

Skaket (on the calm bay side)and Nauset (on the ocean side), where bracing Atlantic watersoffer excellent surf casting. From here the drive enters scrubby pitch pine and oak forest and aworld of lonely beaches, sea cliffs, and dunes. A good portion of this landscape has been preserved as the 44,600-acre (18,049-hectare) Cape Cod National Seashore, with a visitor center at Salt Pond in Eastham. Trails and boardwalks lace 1,100 acres (445 hectares) of pinewoods, marshes, and tidal creeks at the Massachusetts Audubon Society's Wellfleet BayWildlife Sanctuary. Whimbrels and yellowlegs are two of the more than 200 species of birdsspotted here. Just ahead, an outdoor exhibit at the Marconi Station Site commemorates theclifftop spot where radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi transmitted the first message across theAtlantic in 1903. A Marconi station operated here until 1917; among the signals picked upwere distress calls from the R.M.S. Titanic in 1912.

ProvincetownStay on Route 6 through the quiet town of Truro, then bear left onto Route 6A, the scenic bayside approach to the popular summer resort town of Provincetown. A picturesque jumbleof narrow streets, this colonial seaport possesses elements of a Portuguese fishing village. ThePilgrims landed here in 1620 before settling on their final destination of Plymouth. The stop iscommemorated by the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum, a 252-foot (77-meter)Italian Renaissance granite tower erected in 1910. The spectacular 360-degree view at the topencompasses the Cape's variegated landscapes and the sea beyond. Ship models, whalingequipment, and other maritime artifacts fill the museum near the monument's base. For localhistory, stop in Provincetown Heritage Museum; there is even a half-scale model of a GrandBanks fishing schooner. Perhaps the most dramatically beautiful portion of the nationalseashore can be found at nearby Province Lands; its visitors' center offers information. A

short climb to the observation deck provides majestic views of dune, village, and sea. Takehiking trails that meander through the dunes, or bike a five-mile (eight-kilometer) loop.

ChathamLeaving Provincetown, the drive follows U.S. 6 toward Orleans. From the traffic circle theretake Mass. 6A and Mass. 28 north (though the road actually goes south) to Chatham, at theCape's outer elbow. Smaller and more sedate than Provincetown, Chatham nevertheless offers plenty of shop and gallery browsing, as well as splendid sea views from the overlook atChatham Light. Tucked among the 18th- and 19th-century houses of its leafy residential

neighborhood is pleasant Chase Park, where you'll find a 1797 gristmill and the historicalsociety's 1752 Atwood House Museum, filled with period furniture, Sandwich glass, seafarer tools—and a series of murals by Alice Stallknecht Wight depicting Chatham people she knewin the early- to mid-1900s.

End in Woods HoleLeaving Chatham, amble westward alongside Nantucket Sound. In the 1960s, the seasidequarter of Hyannis Port, in the village of Hyannis, became one of the world's most famousaddresses. That era is recalled at the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, which really is anextensive gallery of large-format photographs that capture the 35th president's lifelongromance with the Cape. Kennedy is also remembered at the John F. Kennedy Memorial, aharborside fountain and reflecting pool. Proceed farther west to Falmouth, the Cape's

southwesternmost point. Settled by Congregationalists in the 1660s, the town became awhaling and shipbuilding center in the 19th century. Clustered around the classic villagegreen are the 1796 First Congregational Church, with its steeple and Paul Revere bell, andtwo historic-house museums, the 18th-century Julia Wood House and the Conant HouseMuseum, with mementoes of Katharine Lee Bates, the Falmouth native who wrote the song"America the Beautiful." From Falmouth take Woods Hole Road south to the Woods HoleOceanographic Institution, founded in 1930 as "the world’s largest private, nonprofit oceanresearch, engineering and education organization." Its Exhibits Center showcases the variousactivities and discoveries of its scientists—including a full-size model of the inner sphere of the deep submersible Alvin.

Massachusetts Foliage Driving Tour / Hill Towns of Western Massachusetts

by Jan Voorhis

JUST EAST OF the traditional pleasures of the Berkshires lies an area known as "the hill towns."Though often overshadowed by its showier, better publicized neighbors, this region of NewEngland offers the best of both city and country.

These hill towns are thick with creative arts, rural beauty, cultural diversity, and great music andrestaurants fueled by the area's dense cluster of colleges and universities. This two-day fall-foliage ramble takes you from the Vermont border through breathtaking countryside for a

night's stay in the Shelburne Falls area, then down to Northampton for a night inthe "city."

Day One

OK, we're not yet in Massachusetts, but we couldn't resist starting this tour in the hamlet of Jacksonville, Vermont. From Brattleboro, take Route 9 west (the Molly Stark Trail) to Route100 south. Antiquers will enjoy a stop at Marillas Antiques & Country Goods, a charmingmultidealer shop located in an old house overlooking a lively stream in the center of town.The shop carries a variety of small and large antiques at prices that should make it easy for you to justify taking home a treasure. Up the hill, on Gates Pond Road, is the well-regardedStone Soldier Pottery, featuring a large variety of hand-thrown stoneware pieces and other 

crafts. The business is run by the Burnell family.

As you head south, ready your cameras for the next stretch of 112 as it winds through the bucolic North River Valley toward Colrain, Massachusetts. After about five miles, the river flows for a spell between the steep granite walls of Halifax Gorge. Look for several turnouts on your right. Trails from these parking areas lead down to the gorge.

About nine miles out of Jacksonville is a farm (on the right) with the quintessential weathered gray barn and a resident gray horse to match -- a classic New England photo op.

From the village of Colrain, Massachusetts, head up the hill on Greenfield Road, which becomes theColrain-Shelburne Road toward Route 2. Any children in tow would appreciate a stop at PineHill Orchards on the left to pick your own apples (adults can taste the offerings of the nearby

7/27/2019 viaje NY 10-10

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/viaje-ny-10-10 14/22

West County Winery). Several miles farther along the road is Orchard Hill

Antiques, owned by Jeffrey Bishop, occupying an 1811 house and a barn annex full of periodcountry furniture, lighting fixtures, clocks, and tools.

You'll come out onto Route 2. Turn left to head east on Route 2. The first building on your right is

home to the  Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters, perfectly placed for 

an infusion of coffee, cookies, and pastry.

Stretch your legs amid some lovely scenery on the trails at High Ledges, a 586-acre Audubonsanctuary in Shelburne. Point your car west on Route 2, take a right onto Little Mohawk Road, and bear left at the junction onto Patten Road. Continuing on Patten, go left at the next junction and then bear right. The sanctuary entrance is approximately a mile on the left, atwisting, turning half-mile-long dirt road (take it slow!) that empties out onto a small, grassy parking area.

Follow signs to the cabin, where trails are posted, one of which winds up to the 1,350-foot-high

ledge, affording a sweeping view of the Deerfield River valley, Mount Greylock (the highestmountain peak in the state), and the village of Shelburne Falls. The story goes that the last pair of wolves in western Massachusetts made their den somewhere among these ledges,ravines, and forest. The wolves are gone, but keep your eyes peeled for the many varieties of orchids (a number of species line the sanctuary's extensive trail system) and ferns, as well asyellow-bellied sapsuckers, as you make your way through the lush forest.

BOSTON

a mí la zona que más me gustó de Boston es la zona de Copley Square. Allí tienes la BibliotecaPública (me gustó más que la de Nueva York) y la Trinity Church, que está muy bien tanto por dentro como por fuera (la típica foto de la iglesia reflejándose en los cristales de un rascacielos).Ya si tuvieras más tiempo (que me parece que no), el Museo de Bellas Artes

Bus Pato. Hace gran parte del Freedom Trail y después circula por el agua

Freedom trail? Lo que hicimos en una mañana fue ver el parque Boston Common, ir al visitor's center y allí empezar

el Freedom Trail, en Quincy Market almorzamos, seguimos un poco más (no llegamos a la casa de Paul Revere) y comono nos estaba acabando de convencer, nos fuimos a ver un poco la zona de Beacon Hill, y ya directos a Copley Square,que de verdad para nosotros merece mil veces más la pena que el Freedom Trail. Comimos por allí, vimos la zonatranquilamente entrando en la iglesia y en la Biblioteca, y por la tarde nos fuimos a ver el museo Isabella Stewart,aprovechando que cerraba ese día bastante tarde.

El Museo de Bellas Artes lo habíamos visto ya la tarde anterior, que cerraban muy tarde y habíamos llegado pocodespués de comer a Boston.

A Recommended Drive: Massachusetts

If you could survey the generations of Cape Cod visitors and draw a composite picturefrom their most lasting impressions, the result would almost certainly be a sketch of Route 6A, Old King's Highway (named after the cart path that early settlers used totravel to and from Plymouth Colony).

This section of the Cape is iconic and timeless, a single 40-mile canvas of demure whiteclapboards and weathered cedar shingles. You can probably see it in your mind's eye:the saltbox homes and sharp-steepled churches, the beaches lapped by placid surf, thevintage motel cottages, the ice-cream and fried seafood stands now run by the adultchildren of the original owners.

A good place to begin is the Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich. Theunsurpassed collections of Americana housed here on 100 landscaped acresappropriately set the tone for the journey ahead. Continuing east, you pass so manysigns for antiques and art galleries that you may suspect every resident sells things outof his or her garage. Around the halfway point, in Yarmouth Port, stop at the EdwardGorey House to browse the original artwork and personal effects of its famous and

 prolific namesake, whose darkly humorous illustrations are an antidote to everythingsentimental.

Cape Cod Bay is largely invisible from the road except in glimpses across theoccasional salt marsh, but if you take nearly any left-hand turn, you'll find a beach. The

 best beaches are in the town of Dennis. For excellent panoramic views of the bay's ever-changing light, visit Dennis's Scargo Hill Observatory, a small stone observation

 platform built in 1902 on the area's highest point of land (106 feet).

The penultimate town, Brewster, tempts weary travelers with numerous attractive bed-and-breakfasts, many of which were 19th-century sea captains' homes. Before you knowit, the arching boughs over the winding blacktop yield to bustling Orleans, where OldKing's Highway ends.

You must add the drive from Orleans to Chatham via Rt. 28. It is as pretty as any part 

of Rt. 6A

A Recommended Drive: Connecticut

As you drive along Route 169 in the eastern part of the state, it soon becomes clear whythis section of Connecticut is called the Quiet Corner. This route, located just off I-395,offers 32 miles of uninterrupted tranquillity.

In Lisbon, weathered-clapboard homesteads appear around every bend. Stone wallsflank the road as you come to the Prudence Crandall Museum in Canterbury. Prudence

Crandall was a prescient white woman who educated black girls from 1833 to 1834 before a club-wielding mob brought an end to her school.

Back on Route 169, giant trees cast long shadows as you pass faded red barns amidfields of corn. The apple orchards and hiking and biking trails just off the road will haveyou making a mental note to return in the autumn.

Continuing on, you soon reach the town of Brooklyn, settled in the 1600s. Past theBrooklyn Fairgrounds, site of the oldest agricultural fair in the country, is a charming18th-century bed-and-breakfast called the Friendship Valley Inn. Inn-keepers Beverlyand Rusty Yates greet guests with glasses of homemade iced tea.

For a special treat, visit The Golden Lamb Buttery, part of a 1,000-acre estate just off Route 169. Enjoy a late-afternoon hayride (you just might find a glass of Pinot Noir hand-delivered in a '53 Jaguar), then relax with a cocktail on the deck overlooking thelake and meandering stone walls. For dinner, try the roast duckling -- the housespecialty -- which is so tender it falls off the bone.

Twenty-six miles from the start of your trip, in Woodstock, stands Roseland Cottage, aresplendent raspberry sherbet-colored Gothic Revival house with maroon trim and dark-green shutters. The cottage was built by Henry Bowen, a local boy who moved to NewYork and struck it rich. He and his family returned to the cottage every summer, and

their original furnishings are still on display here.

 My husband and I recently just took a drive one beautiful summer day and we went to Litchfield, CT in Litchfield County. The center of Town could be walked through with little effort. The stores,

antique, clothing, boutique, etc.. were simply beautiful. The people were friendly. One gentlemen

who was just sitting on his stairs getting some fresh air with his dog Noah, was very friendly, and 

told us his "favorite" restaurants. They are all fabulous.

On another trip there, an architect was sketching one of the older Churhes in town. He too started a

converstaion with my husband, and we found out that he lived in Branford, as well.

 I would strongly suggest that if you have never been to Litchfield before, you should do yourself a

 favor and take a drive there. MaryAnn Olgin

 Agreed that the Litchfield County area is spectacular - no doubt. I would also suggest a different 

kind of foliage experience - no less spectacular - in the lower Connecticut River Valley area. Awonderful autumn experience can be enjoyed in the charming \"storybook\" village of Essex.Certainly one can access this historic seaport village traveling Route 9 (Exit 3) - which is a pretty

drive in itself. Once you arrive in the village enjoy walking along the quaint streets lined with

boutiques, galleries and Sugar Maples! To really view the fall spectacle one must get out on the

majestic Connecticut River: board a schooner at the Foot of Main for an historic sail or enjoy a ridealong the River aboard the Essex Steam Train which connects with the Riverboat Becky Thatcher.

 Both experiences offer a wonderful opportunity to view the natural beauty that defines the Lower 

Connecticut River Valley. Gorgeous in ALL seasons, but never more than this time of year! Experience Essex!

 Litchfield is beautiful, but the Quiet Corner has one beautiful town after another. From routes 169,

171, 197 and 131 to all the little side roads, this is a a drivers paradise. I am an avid motorcycer rider (sorry about the noise) and can tell you this is the nicest area to drive in New England with the possible exception of parts of Vermont. If you\'re coming from NYC, then sure, stop in Litchfield,

it\'s gorgeous. But if you are in Boston, this part of CT is the closest piece of old New England and a

 gem on it\'s own. If you want to get out and walk a little, the town of Putnam is having a revival with

new upscale restaurants, art galleries and even two live theatres. The Vanilla Bean in Pomfret is anational treasure. There\'s so much more to the Quiet Corner than this article lets on.

This scenic byway in Newport County is an 8.3-mile loop that comprises six streets.It gives you an up-close look at classic New England architecture, tightlyconstructed stone walls, rolling farmland, and stunning views of the AtlanticOcean.

 Newport County is not the agricultural base it was when Europeans first turned the landover to sheep and plows in the 1600s -- but it's not been completely shredded by condosand strip development, either. Small saltwater farms, vineyards, and pastures are stillintegral parts of the coastal landscape.

The loop begins and ends on Indian Avenue, a straight-as-an-arrow road that cutsthrough a collection of large, opulent coastal homes. As it dips under a canopy of green,it morphs into Hanging Rock Road, which skirts The Norman Bird Sanctuary. This

 preserve sits on approximately 350 acres and includes seven miles of hiking trails.

As you drive from the sanctuary, woods give way to water. You can either turn left for the worthwhile diversion of the 242-acre Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, or turn and continue the loop, where Second Beach may just tempt you out of the car. If 

you can, take your eyes off the sand and water and look straight ahead and up for adead-on shot of the glass and stone cathedral of St. George's prep school. This is thearchitectural centerpiece of the historic 125-acre campus, which offers unmatched viewsof the water and Newport.

From Hanging Rock Road, turn right onto Paradise Avenue, which takes you throughneighborhoods and eventually to the loop's other roads -- Berkeley, Wyatt, andPeckham. This stretch, which may not be as picture-perfect as the rest, momentarilytakes you away from the water, but don't fret. You'll eventually meander back to the sea

 past farm animals, strawberry patches, and some of the prettiest coast in all of NewEngland.
