About the Autumn Colors set: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Each photograph was taken at a different location across the United States, a perfect way to emphasize the nationwide beauty of autumn.
History the stamp represents: Many people take their vacations in the summer when the weather is hot and the trees are green. However, autumn can be just as wonderful a time to travel. In fact, the kaleidoscope of fall foliage can make autumn vacations more scenic than summer trips. Here are some of the best places in America to enjoy autumn colors at their finest…
Acadia National Park in northern Maine includes 50,000 acres of coastal mountains and forests. Peak autumn colors can be enjoyed by car along the Acadia All-American Road or by taking a hike on one of the park’s many nature trails. Enjoy views of the Atlantic ocean, too.
A few hundred miles southwest, you’ll find the Berkshires in Massachusetts. The tree-covered mountains put on quite the spectacle come the end of September to mid-October. The largest peak in the range is Mount Greylock (3,500 feet), and hiking to its summit provides one of the most breathtaking views in the entire region. Along with the foliage, the Berkshires are known for their support of the arts. Entertainment opportunities abound, as well as many unique restaurants.
Whether you travel to New England or elsewhere during autumn, the colorful foliage sets the scene for a vacation you will not soon forget.
