Then there is Autumn, the color and the beauty of the turning maple leaves. Autumn is a time to take leisurely drives down winding, mountain roads, stopping for the perfect photo opportunity, or for that great antique shop or because you spotted a moose! Take a brisk walk down one of the many Mad River Paths. Perhaps you will choose the Kingsbury Pond Walk, where you may spot a beaver, or the Bobbin Mill Walk, with the fabulous Hartshorn Falls. Feeling more adventurous; hike Mt. Abraham (4006 feet).
