Fall in New England is a time of crisp air, pumpkins, apple picking and changing leaves. The spectacular red, yellow, and orange hues of New England’s fall foliage draw visitors from around the country and all over the world. From the breathtaking mountains of northern New England to peaceful valleys and tranquil towns of the Berkshires and southern New England, people love to take in the scenery. For those planning to go “leaf-peeping” in New England states, here are a few tips to help navigate the sights this autumn.
The autumn foliage season lasts only a few weeks, typically reaching peak colors around early- to mid-October in New England’s northern reaches, and a few weeks after that in the southern regions. Colors typically change first in the higher elevations with their colder temperatures, and progress in a southern direction.
