When to Visit New England |
|
|
Early summer and early autumn are less crowded than high summer, but the autumn foliage season and Indian summer are New England's glory times, but winter has its own pleasures. |

Without doubt, the most popular times to tour New England are summer (June, July and August) and the autumn foliage season (September, October and sometimes even November), unless you're coming for skiing. You can enjoy a visit here any time of year if you prepare for the weather and are wary of the busy times (such as Thanksgiving) when hotels, inns, restaurants, and transportation are filled to capacity. For a month-by-month description of weather, events, prices and crowds, see Tom's New England Almanac. See also New England's Climate, with detailed descriptions of the four seasons (actually five), and horror stories of the dangerously severe weather at the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire's White Mountains. New England also has lots of festivals, holidays and special events that may affect your planning.
