Our introduction to New England was in the quaint town of Manchester VT in the valleys of the Green Mountain National Forest.
The town is famous for its ski resorts, cross country skiing, and an alpine slide that sit at the base of the Stratton Moutain. But what many people don’t realize is, there are many things to do in Manchester VT all year round.
In the Spring and Summer, its downhill skiing runs turn into epic hiking trails, and in the fall, the autumnal colors fill the top attractions in Manchester with colors of orange, yellow and red.
The town is also home to many fascinating museums, farmers markets, and parks.
No matter what time of year you visit, you will be sure to find something to keep you busy and entertained in Manchester.
Our Experience Visiting Manchester
Manchester VT is a bucolic town in the Battenkill Valley in southwestern Vermont.
It’s relaxed and sophisticated, and while I preferred the town of Stowe in the northern part of Vermont, Manchester is a great base to explore Vermont’s unspoiled Green Mountains!
It has been a dream of mine to visit New England in the Fall for many years. I think Fall is possibly the only time humans celebrate change and transformation, I wanted to celebrate it in the place where the leaves danced in vibrant fashion.
Sadly, in some parts of the North East, the weather was unseasonably warm, which meant the leaves weren’t singing the loudest.
But, it also meant the leaf-peeping season was late, and we were late getting to New England, so lucky for us we caught the leaves at their peak colors.
We stayed in Manchester Vermont for three nights and did our best to chase the leaves all over the Green Mountain region.
We missed the turn off to our accommodation, which lead us to this driveway to turn around. I quickly snapped a photo, which was so popular on our social channels.
I really think it captured the spirit of New England – colonial, patriotic, warm, and perfectly suited to the spirit and vibrancy of Fall.
We explored Manchester on a New England road trip. If you’re planning a road trip, be sure to check out RentalCars.com, the world’s biggest car rental booking service that compares all the major brands like Hertz, Avis, Alamo, and Europcar. Book your car rental in Vermont here!
