Imagine traveling through one of the "last great places on earth" in Living Color! Now, board the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat for the ultimate Fall Foliage journey through the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley.

This 2-1/2 hour nature excursion is guaranteed to reawaken all of your senses. Relax and soak up the colorful sights while gently rolling through the countryside aboard vintage train coaches. From the open decks of the Becky Thatcher Riverboat, you'll revel in stunning views of the hills bursting with Fall Foliage and reflecting on the river water.

Perhaps you'll even make this magnificent autumnal adventure an annual Fall Foliage tradition for the memory books!
