Please come to Vermont - we have lots of scenery to treat the eye. And if you do, come to A Quilter's Garden in Montpelier, Vermont, the smallest state capital in the country. I agree with all of those who recommend Acadia Park in Maine, but I am guessing you see lots of ocean at home - why not come see out Mountains? I can't guarantee peak foliage - but October is the best chance for the beautiful leaves.
