The Ultimate Fall Foliage Itinerary for New England (toddler edition)! 🍁
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We flew in and out of Boston — and you’ll need to rent a car. This trip involves a lot of driving!
@Expedia is my go-to resource for travel— you can rent your car, book activities, and find amazing accommodation for your own trip to New England!
You can start your adventure in North Conway, in the white mountains of New Hampshire. This cute town is home to the Conway Scenic railway and is a great base to explore some of the best leaf peeping in the area.
You’ll want to book tickets for Flume Gorge months in advance—it’s a kid-friendly hike but still 2.2 miles and I definitely regretted not bringing a hiking carrier for Ollie.
Head out EARLY to drive the 34-mile Kancamagus Scenic Byway—there are tons of spots to stop along the byway, but we loved Sabbaday Falls for a short hike with big reward.
Next up, head to Woodstock, Vermont, and check into Woodstock Inn. This hotel sells out almost a full year in advance during foliage season, so plan ahead.
Don’t miss a maple creamy from Woodstock Scoops or a visit to Billings Farm.
The entire drive through Vermont is SO beautiful. On your way to the town of Stowe, stop for some apple picking, and don’t miss Hollow Cider for cider donuts.
Stay at the Trapp family lodge (owned by the REAL family from the Sound of Music). This is such a great spot for kids. They have tons of farm animals like highland cattle and sheep. Stowe is famously known for its crowds this time of year, so if you want to avoid them, base yourself here, take in the incredible views, and go on hikes directly on the property.
Stay at the Trapp family lodge (owned by the REAL family from the Sound of Music). They have tons of farm animals like highland cattle and sheep. There’s a beer hall, bakery, and even hiking trails on the property—so you can avoid the crowds in town. It’s also located near the Smuggler’s Notch mountain pass.
End your trip by driving back to Boston and spending a couple of days exploring one of the most historic (and kid-friendly) cities in America!

Woooow! I think I need to go to New Zealand JUST to go to this farmers market!!! I let my daughter choose next years family trip location and she chose Borneo, though she recently changed her mind to New Zealand and now keeps going back and forth. If she decides on New Zealand I am DEF stopping by this place! Thanks for this mouth watering post!!!
You would LOVE New Zealand!!! Especially the food. So fresh and locally sourced 🙂
