Welcome!

People who go up to New England in the fall to see the colors from the changing leaves are called "Leaf Peepers." That is why we call this site the "Fall 2000 Leaf Peepers Trip"

My wife and I took a weekend trip to New Hampshire & Maine, on October 6,7 & 8, 2000, to see the fall foliage. We chose the time when this region was rated as "at Peak" for the colors of the leaves on the trees. We hope you will enjoy our travelogue. 

It is our hope that students will utilize our site to become more informed about

• The states of New Hampshire and Maine
• Change of leaf colors 
• The New Hampshire White Mountains and Seacoast
• The lower Maine Seacoast
• Impact of glaciers on land formations
