So it is looking like this coming weekend will be my only chance to get to NH for awhile so I want to get up there for my annual foliage trip. I was up there 2 weeks ago and color had started but it was pretty flat and not overly wide spread (was in the Franconia/Zealand area - wetlands had a lot of color but woods were still fairly muted). According to the vistnh.gov page the whole state is in moderate to peak right now. Is that accurate? I know sometimes these sites can be predictive more than actual with their maps and I've found they aren't super accurate versus my actual trips either. (I feel like peakbagger would be replying here that much like ski resort snow reports the foliage reports might be "embellished" to get tourists up there )
So anyway, I was hoping to get some "micro" reports from VFTT people who either live up there or get up there a lot so I can get maximum value for my time restrictions. Is there any area in particular in the Whites that is really maxed out right now? Has the color gotten any brighter or is it still flat from the dry conditions? I typically go up the Dry River Wilderness for my foliage hike but I'm feeling like trying another spot. Done that one 4-5 years now I think. Thinking the Maine/NH border might have some good options based on a video I saw earlier in the week.
If anyone can add some first hand data on the foliage status it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
