We left our hotel early this morning to drive up the west side of Vermont toward Burlington. The scenery was beautiful, so we traveled mostly on highway 7 and the adjacent country roads to get the best view of the foliage.

At the village of Hampton we crossed into New York state and followed the through small villages and on back roads to Fort Ticonderoga.

Our guided tour at Fort Ticonderoga was the highlight of today, well worth the time.
After our visit, we boarded the cable ferry operating on Lake Champlain and returned to VT. We drove north on highway 7 again to Burlington, where we spent the night.

We had an excellent dinner had at The Ice House restaurant. The weather is unseasonably warm for this time of year, so we ate on the outside deck that overlooks the lake and watched the sun set.
