Best way to see Fall colors back east ?

We live at the foothills of the White Mountain National Forest and I can honestly say some of the most beautiful scenery and fall colors anywhere . the peak foliage is brief but it usually starts about the first week in October and is past peak (but still good) first week in November . The days are warm but as soon as the light declines the temperature drops fast . A must do is the cog railway up Mt. Washington , 6200 ft., on a clear day you can see 5 states . There are bus tours up the wazzoo , some stop in my town to a haunted hotel . Tourist traffic can get crazy on weekends but weekdays are tolerable . Wonderful "Yankee Fair " at restruants as well as the best seafood on earth . Need more info ? Let me know . Later, Tom
