Ready to get out of the car? Leaf peeping through the windshield is so 20th century, not to mention boring. Why not zipline above the fall foliage, bike amid the changing leaves, see the foliage from a train—or a vineyard, perhaps, time- traveling back in history.

These days, there are more active ways to enjoy changing leaves. The Farmers’ Almanac offers a 2024 fall foliage color map, noting that depending on where you are, leaves can change color through early November. Mid-October typically are peak times to see the reds, oranges, yellows, and golds.
