I hope the attachment works -- it is the Maine foliage website. They will begin posting in mid september what the schedule for best viewing is. The color moves south at about 20 miles a day after it starts in Canada. A lot of places in the world have beautiful foliage but the bright reds depend on certain trees. Mostly maples here in eastern US.

Boston and eastern Mass with all it's colonial history is a great place to spend a few days -- and the public transport (the subway/trolley and bus systems make it easy to get around -- even from the airport if you don't want to rent a car for the first couple days. Then wandering up the coast thru Cape Ann to NH or down to Cape cod is beautiful, too.

Probably not much foliage color except a few trees that are stressed and turn early.
