Tourists go high-tech to find fall foliage in New England
CONCORD, N.H. — Leaf peepers headed to northern New England this fall can keep up using computerized maps that predict where the colors will be.
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont all have official Web sites highlighting the popular and lucrative fall foliage season, which draws camera-toting visitors from all over the world.
All offer regular foliage reports, promote fall events to keep tourists busy and suggest travel routes. Vermont and New Hampshire offer maps on their official Web sites that predict the colors on specific days or weeks.
Maine has a map of current conditions.
"For instance, you can point to this weekend, and see that up north it's just turning to near peak, whereas on the Seacoast, it's mostly green," said Alice DeSouza, New Hampshire's director of travel and tourism. "You can tell instantly."
Foliage season in all three states begins around mid-September and runs into late October, progressing north to south.
