Day 6:
Ogunquit-Lake Winnipesaukee-North Conway. Marvel at New England’s autumn splendor as we head northwest to Lake Winnipesaukee, one of the region’s largest and most beautiful stretches of water.

Day 7:
North Conway-Montpelier-Burlington. This morning you might choose to board a chairlift for an optional ride to the summit of Wildcat Mountain, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and as far north as Québec.

After a stop in Montpelier, Vermont’s capital city, we visit a nearby MAPLE SYRUP FARM. Next, we visit COLD HOLLOW CIDER MILL, one of New England’s top producers of fresh apple cider.
