The state's signature
The foliage front through the Litchfield Hills
The color line crosses Connecticut's northwest hills in the first half of October — stone walls, white steeples, sugar maples at full burn — feeding straight into the Berkshires leg of the chase.
Seasonal RV-timing verdict
When Connecticut is at its best
Connecticut's prime RV window is May to October. Mild summers and spectacular fall foliage make for pleasant RV trips; winters are cold with occasional heavy snow. Shoulder-season play: April and November are quieter with lower rates but leaf season crowds return quickly in October.
Know before you go
Nor'easters can bring flooding and high winds in fall and winter. Summer humidity increases in July and August.
