In case you haven’t already started, it’s time to plan for any fall foliage trips you might want to take. Although New England has pushed the idea that it is fall foliage central, you can find good fall foliage viewing throughout much of the United States and Canada—maples, oaks, and such east of the Mississippi, aspens in the Rockies. Peak times typically move from north to south between mid-September and mid-November. And you can view foliage displays as a road trip, bus tour, or train ride. You can make it an extended week-long tour or a day trip.
Where to Find it
If you aren’t sure where and when you want to go, a good place to start is TripSavvy’s “Complete Guide.“ Individual pages summarize ”State-by-State Guide,“ ”Best Places,“ and ”Best National Parks“ lists. Although the current posting dates from 2020, the basic ”Best Place” information doesn’t change much from year to year.
