FALL FOLIAGE<br />

Road Trips Around<br />

the World<br />

If you’ve got wheels, wanderlust and a spot of time, here’s some fuel for your epic journey.<br />

Start your engines because these are some of the best road trips around the world.<br />

New Hampshire White Mountain<br />

Range, USA<br />

The White Mountain range covers about a quarter of the state of<br />

New Hampshire and a small portion of western Maine in the United<br />

States. But while the icy beauty of these sugarcone peaks live up<br />

to their name only in winter, they are worth a visit at any time of<br />

year. Take a drive around mid-September to mid-October, when<br />

fall foliage is at its most spectacular. There is also a pond at the<br />

6,500-acre Franconia Notch State Park which is built around a<br />

spectacular mountain pass.<br />

Best for: Those who have yet to stand up on a mountain!<br />

Need to know:<br />

This road trip is<br />

best taken from<br />

mid-September till<br />

mid-October.<br />

Special Feature<br />

New Hampshire, USA<br />

California, USA<br />

Snake Pass, Peak District, England<br />

Snake Pass is located in the Derbyshire section of the Peak<br />

District, which crosses the Pennines (a mountain range in<br />

Northern England) and Ladybower Reservoir. It also carries<br />

the A57, a road that connects Sheffield with Manchester. It is<br />

a truly hair-raising ride but expect the reward of magnificent<br />

views of the UK's National Trust for Places of Historic Interest<br />

and Natural Beauty’s High Peak Moors.<br />

Best for: Peak District National Park which is untouched<br />

by past or present human activity.<br />

Need to know: You can expect tight corners and tricky<br />

tarmac as you tackle the tangled route.<br />
