New England States

One of America’s most scenic regions, New England rewards visitors with its rich history, centuries of culture and kaleidoscope of landscapes that are stunning in every season. Whether it’s photographing historic covered bridges, sailing dramatic coastlines, antiquing in colonial-era towns or skiing a challenging slope, New England offers experiences that have visitors returning year after year.

One of the best-loved activities here is “leaf-peeping” in the fall when maples, sycamores and other trees turn New England’s countryside into a million shades of fiery golds and reds, while during the winter, the ski resorts of New Hampshire and Vermont boast the East Coast’s best skiing. A year-round destination, spring and summer offer amazing opportunities to enjoy everything from maple syrup festivals in Vermont to lobster boat races in Maine.

In fact, if you enjoy the water, your options here are too numerous to count, including visiting New Hampshire’s over 1,000 lakes and offshore islands, or Vermont’s vast Lake Champlain with its excellent windsurfing and sailing. Then there is legendary Newport, Rhode Island, world renowned for its yacht culture, maritime history, and sailing opportunities.

Of course, there is plenty to do on land here as well. Scenic drives past photogenic covered bridges and waterfalls, stops at historic villages like Maine’s Bethel, which brim with antique shops and opportunities to try regional cuisine, as well visits to the shore for an unforgettable Maine-style lobster dinner. Finally, for an experience you’ll always remember, tour the great mansions built by the Vanderbilts and Astors, 19th Century Newport’s example of “lifestyles of the rich and famous.”
