Hello Emma! Yes, this would be doable in four days, but keep in mind that a lot of time would be spent driving. Between those two itinerary options, I’d personally do Boston > Vermont > White Mountains > Boston. The drive from Boston to Vermont is the longest section of that particular trip, so I would like to get that out of the way first. (Beautiful drive, though!) And you’ll be able to see fall colors essentially everywhere in October, not just the Green Mountains and White Mountains. Most of your drive will be through stunning fall scenery!

You are absolutely right, that was my mistake. I have corrected this in this post. Thanks for pointing that out!

Hi Vicky! If you have to choose between those two weekends, I’d recommend the weekend of September 28 for your fall foliage trip in New England. While not all trees will have turned at that point, there should already be lots of colors at the higher elevations. By later October, you might be too late to catch the peak. Have fun!
