People who want to get out of the car and onto the trails can take a fall foliage tour with Country Walkers, an adventure travel company that's based in Vermont and has been running trips for nearly three decades.

They still have a few slots open on some of their 2007 Vermont foliage trips. Five-night trips cost about $2,100. Call (800) 464-9255 to find out more or go to Country Walkers web site at www.countrywalkers.com. The price includes meals, lodging, etc. Guests fly into Burlington. United Airlines has direct flights from Chicago to Burlington daily.
