Leaf Peeper Season: Backroad Crossing

🍂Weathered | Rustic | Worth-the-Detour.

Sometimes the best part of a Vermont foliage drive is the thing you weren’t actually looking for.

You turn down a quiet backroad, follow it a little farther than planned, come around a bend—and there it is: an old covered bridge tucked into the landscape like a reward for taking the long way.

Backroad Crossing is inspired by the aged, weathered colors of those beloved Vermont landmarks. Muted wood tones, shadowy grays, softened browns, and the subtle colors of timber exposed to decades of New England weather come together in a colorway that feels rustic, understated, and full of history.

It’s the quieter member of this story—the old wood and cool shadows nestled among all that brilliant foliage—and that makes it a beautiful companion for both saturated autumn shades and cool October blues.

Backroad Crossing is part of our Leaf Peeper Season Color Story, celebrating the simple pleasure of exploring Vermont when the leaves begin to turn and discovering something wonderful along the way. Pair it with The Turn and Under October Skies and you’ve got the whole adventure: brilliant foliage, blue sky overhead, and a hidden covered bridge waiting around the bend.
