D O get lost. With 7,401 miles of unpaved roads just in Vermont, there's ample opportunity to find adventure.
D O observe proper foliage etiquette.
Locals use the back roads to get from here to there as promptly as possible. If you're oohing and ahhing at five miles per hour, pull over when someone's behind you. And D O ask a landowner's permission before tramping into the fields. D O get out of your car, and walk, and smell, and listen. Foliage is the most sensual of New England seasons, from the sweet aromas of our apple orchards to the swirling of leaves and wind, from that first whiff of woodsmoke on a frosty fall day to the crunch of dry foliage underfoot.
