| Rt 125 RipRap roadside repairs after July 2023 heavy flooding |
Riprap
There is a lot of roadside repairs being done on Route 125 going up from East Middlebury to Ripton, Vermont. There was heavy flooding last July 2023. One section is one lane with lights to manage traffic.
The peak foliage, I believe, was the Indigenous Peoples' Day long weekend. My photographs here were taken the weekend after. This illustrates how short a window there can be to see the best colors in certain areas. There are places that are just turning. For the most part, the higher elevations are past peak. Again, my opinion. Check your local foliage reports.

I always remember the name riprap from the title of Gary Snyder's first book of poetry, "Riprap and Cold Mountain Poems, 1965."
