In the afternoon make your way to Vermont, driving past picturesque New England farmlands and old-world towns. - Day 3 – Uncover the Best of Vermont:
Get a taste of East Coast cuisine among some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes on your New England tour.

This afternoon, see how the foliage of New England is in a league of its own as you journey along “The Kanc”, an American Scenic Byway that cuts through the White Mountain National Forest.
