The Vermonters call them "leaf-peepers."

The roads to the
Green Mountain state will be filled with them this weekend as the
season for exceptionally beautiful views gets underway.

These are people who come to see the leaves, and if last weekend is any indication, there will be plenty to see. 

I spent last weekend in Vermont, near Brattleboro, on a business trip but stayed in a great bed and breakfast (the Green River Bridge House)
and was able to get out among the trees and mountains a bit. The leaves
were just beginning to turn, and I got a taste of what thousands will
see over the next couple of weeks. 

I wish I could go back.
