When the season is at its height, you don't need to drive far from Lake Winnipesaukee to see an intensely-bright shimmering of colors. Just east of the lake and north of Rochester will take you through old-time curvy NH roadways--like Rt. 153.

On windy days, the flow of bright dropped leaves across the road is transfixing!
Agreed on the road leaves—I miss driving Route 3 South through Tyngsboro, Chelmsford, etc. when it was a narrow, tree-lined tunnel. I do not, of course, miss the traffic.

Also, John's comment about walking with freshly fallen leaves is also accurate.
