Oct 11。昨日,沿12號scenic Drive,橫跨Vermont。今晨北上,直奔Northern Mountains景區。沿高緯度山間環道,飽覽秋色(the Northern Mountains loop starts and ends in Stowe, VT, and is ranked the #1 fall foliage peeping destination in the entire United States)。未上山前,沿途所見,秋色平平,稍失所望。待驅車登山,漸入佳境。絕妙處,漫山遍野,橙黃紅紫,明快亮麗,溫暖愜意。步入林間,金枝炫目,玉葉鋪甸,令人眼花撩亂。其境之勝,抑或冠絕北美(?);其情之逸,驚羨溢於言表者,誠然不可名狀矣。
