What's Your Favorite Spot for Fall Foliage?

Here are some ideas of where to go to see the changing leaves. Be sure to tell us your favorite spots in and around town, too, and send us pictures!

Autumn is now in full blast, and for many, that means a variety of things like apple crisps, pumpkin pies, jack-o'-lanterns, Halloween costumes, and more.

It also, of course, means it's fall foliage season.

There are plenty of places to go in the area to check out the colorful changes, both in and out of town, to check out the changing leaves. Rather than just give you a full list, though, we'd rather have this article serve as a place where the editor and all of you can share ideas and your favorite locations.

Here are a few places I typically keep an eye on in town and in the surrounding area:

White's Lane Nature Trail in Hampton

Surrounded by conservation land and wildlife, White's Nature Lane off Mill Road is a great place to go to check out fall foliage. It's a popular area for walking, although the area is plenty large enough to make you feel secluded in the woods even though you can almost hear the ocean.

Post, Winnicut, Lovering roads in North Hampton

The western edge of North Hampton has plenty of densely-wooded residential areas that are perfect for a scenic walk. Be sure to keep an eye out for colorful trees as you make your way down roads like Post, Winnicut and Lovering this fall.

Garrison Hill Tower in Dover

One of Dover's highest points also happens to be one of the most scenic, as the 76-foot-tall Garrison Hill Tower overlooks the heart of the city from its spot atop the hill. This also makes it a perfect place to go to get a panoramic view of foliage in the Garrison City.

Wagon Hill in Durham

While there are always good sights in College Woods, you can usually get a great view of foliage in the Great Bay area from atop Wagon Hill, which is close to the University of New Hampshire along Route 4. Plus, there are several orchards nearby, making it a great tourist destination for many fall reasons.
