Best websites for tracking fall foliage
These sites have interactive maps, suggested drives, photos, forums, and other suggestions for finding fall foliage at its peak.
MaineFoliage.com offers weekly reports on conditions throughout the state, where coastal areas typically peak in late October. The state-run site incorporates links to social media, which allows visitors to instantly access foliage updates.
YankeeFoliage.com is probably “the most comprehensive site” for following changes in foliage across New England and beyond. Created by Yankee magazine, it features maps with both forecasts and real-time conditions, along with photos, forums, suggested drives, and a list of 25 towns that make the best foliage destinations.
Virginia.org/fall promotes Virginia leaf-peeping by providing interactive maps that pinpoint the locations of festivals, wineries, orchards, and corn mazes. This new state-run site also highlights travel packages geared to the season.
