Vermont (central western):
lots of nice pastels 13th, 14th, already perhaps a day or two past peak in quite a few areas
rutland up into mtns heading toward killing had good color 13th, espc. the lower and mid parts
killington to a bit north of stockbridge on 100 were at the end of peak on the 13th
some of 100 more north of that area was more past peak and or bruned out sickly looking with not the best turn
although it got nicer again, very nice, for a stretch even a bit farther north again with granville gulch with very nice color if a bit just past abs peak on the 15th but south of there until you got nearer to stockbridge was past peak and or not well turned this year
73 is closed but you can get a bit past the top and mt horrid coming from the west (well past the closed sign, i\'d turn around at mt. horrid and head back west) up at top it is def past peak but lower on coming up had some colors 15th, again colors on western slopes but top and east side are past peak or burned out sickly turn
125 crossover similar story (aside from road closure, this one is open fully)
lincoln gap crossing was past peak 15th but still had enough color remaining to look quite pretty, some giant maples and hemlocks on one part that look old growth (same for gifford woods and parts of granville gulch, nice big trees), color was more on understory or medium trees
braintree hill, bent hill, thresher, 12a were just past ult peak but still with lots of color, on maybe the last day of peak, 13th, some beautiful pastels on some of them and some fairly rich yellows on the one back down to 12A more farther up north just past the 12a closure
