FALL FOLIAGE TOUR

A clear advantage of living in the northeastern US is being able to enjoy four seasons. Spring holds the most beauty when it comes to trees and shrubs blooming, but it's Fall that presents that special combination of colorful fall foliage and crisp air, all set against an awesome blue football sky.

Fall foliage tours in 2005 presented some of the most beautiful autumn weather in recent memory. Dry weather, accented by sunny skies and mild temperatures, created the perfect scenario for any fall foliage tour.  
Our preferred touring vehicle? ...a motorcycle of course!  We'll begin building this webpage with some of the photos taken in Autumn of 2005, and add to this fall foliage photo collection in the coming years.
