Top Spots for Autumn Leaf Peeping on the Eastern Seaboard
==========================================================================
The East Coast of the United States, particularly New England, is renowned for its breathtaking fall foliage. As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, trees shed their green leaves, revealing a kaleidoscope of colours that paint the landscape in hues of yellow, orange, red, and brown.
The official start of fall is the fall equinox on September 22, but the best time to witness this natural spectacle varies by state.
In Maryland, the peak fall foliage season is from mid to late October. Massachusetts follows closely with late September to mid-October being the ideal time to visit. Tennessee, an eastern state without a coastline, offers amazing fall leaves for you to enjoy, with the best viewing times typically in late October.
Moving south, North Carolina and Virginia are other great destinations for fall leaf enthusiasts. Western North Carolina is expected to be at or near peak colors around October 5 to October 12, while Virginia's peak fall leaves can be found just about anywhere in the state, with the mountain areas being a favorite for leaf lookers to enjoy.
Florida, known for its tropical climate, might surprise you with some good locations for fall colors. The peak of fall leaves in Florida will be later in the season than in the states north of it.
New England, including Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Connecticut, offers a wealth of beautiful locations to view the fall foliage. In Maine, the best time to see the fall foliage depends largely on what part of the state you're in. October is considered the best month to see the fall foliage in New England.
Some examples of deciduous trees that drop their leaves in autumn include maple, oak, elm, beech, birch, poplar, ash, aspen, and hickory trees. Evergreen trees, such as cedar, cypress, and pine trees, do not drop their leaves.
For those seeking to explore the fall foliage beyond the states mentioned, consider Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, New Jersey, and New York. Pennsylvania, for instance, boasts several popular locations for viewing autumn leaves, including the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (Pine Creek Gorge), Ricketts Glen State Park, Jim Thorpe borough, and many more.
To help plan your fall foliage adventure, consider using fall foliage maps and tours available to find the best places for viewing. Happy leaf-peeping!
