Have looked out my back door ion the Route 495 area and the trees are starting, people are picking apples, little town fairs, it's fall and the mums, pumpkins and scarecrows are out..

October 19 might be too late. it's hard to tell, because so much depends on the weather. If you must wait til the 19th, Providence would be a better bet.
Normally, the hotels get filled with foliage-seekers, but this year could be different. Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to make reservations ahead of time.

You better get a hotel room booked and I would vote for the Providence area. There's a convention going on in Providence Columbus Day weekend and the following weekend there's a convention going on in the Warwick area. We've driven around RI around Oct 23 and it's still been pretty but a little post peak.

Sorry Judy, but I must agree with Parrot Mom -- foliage in the Boston area will NOT be peaking, or perhaps even evident, on Columbus Day weekend. I am looking out my window right now at maple trees IN Boston, and they have barely started. Most are still completely green. The forecast for the next few days is relatively warm, with highs in the 70s, so they will not be on some sort of accelerated schedule.

It is 8:40 a.m. and I looked out the picture window at the huge trees in this neighborhood, opened the back door and took another look at the maples, catalpa, etc. and especially the maples on my front lawn...THERE IS NO HINT OF COLOR. I live in the Metro-West area of Boston..

I was just reporting what our friendly meteorologist said. I actually live on the North Shore and a lot has already changed. Took a drive in Topsfield over the weekend and one of the most beautiful fields of color every year has peaked already. It must just vary depending on where you are.

THanks everyone but I couldn't get a flight to BOS on miles. Delta says they are gone, I suppose others had long ago took these prime weekends. So it's DC instead and I'll be there too soon as there reduced miles requirement ends on Oct 14th so I'm going on the 12th. Maybe next year.
