![]() The beauty and awe of the world takes a deep breath before settling down for a long winter's nap. It;s a time to reflect on the wonders of nature and enjoy the production far greater than any Broadway show or Hollywood extravaganza. The entire region becomes a theme park, and the theme is 'Breathtaking Beauty." Our color season actually begins in the far corners of the Northeast Kingdom in early September and progresses throughout the region until Jay Peak, with an elevation of nearly 4,000 feet comes into height of color around the last week of September. The adjacent valley areas including Troy, N. Troy, Westfield, Jay, Montgomery, and Montgomery Center historically come to height of color the last week of September through the first week of October. Make plans now to join us this year for the most beautiful and most spectacular show of natural color in the world. During your stay at the Riverbend, take a leisurely ride down river road to the covered bridge and Big Falls and enjoy the color. Of course, there are always events of some kind going on in the area during Foliage Season, from church suppers, to craft shows and festivals.
