You won't find any with parking. Those places are infested with MA plates. Do Blue Hills.

Depends on where you are. From MA, Monadnock is probably the closest mountain with a great view, but it will be super busy there. If you're willing to drive further to Franconia, Mt Pemigewasset has a great view and is an easy hike. And another 20 minutes past that, you can go to Middle and North Sugarloaf. Again, easy hike to either peak. Middle has the best view, but North's is also fantastic.

If those are too far, the lakes region has a few less spectacular mountains, but still great views. Belknap has a firetower that let's you see to Boston on a good day. Gunstock has a gondola and a store with a viewing deck on its peak. Nearby that is also Mt Major, another popular one with a view over Winnipesaukee.

You really can't have those views unless you drive pretty far since the folliage hasn't peaked yet in the majority of MA. And this weekend is pretty bad in car and foot traffic up north.

Definitely head north. Was in the berkshires yesterday and it’s still a week+ away from peak color

Don’t come to Vermont. We’re sick of the Massachusetts plates, stay in your own state.

You could always wait for your leaves to peak and then take a walk.

Greylock should be great next weekend. If you want to head the Western mass, there is also Tyringham cobble, it's always a great uncrowded hike, and Monument mountain in Barrington.

Both are pretty easy, but may not have quite the spectacular views of peaks in VT or NH though.
