Wow, it’s going to be a great year for leaf peeping, I can feel it in my bones. The weather has been very warm lately, but I expect a cold snap to strike, and when it does, the colors of our trees in New York will look SPECTACULAR. Do you know that people come from all over the world to see the fall foliage in New York and New England? You would’t want to miss out, would you??
Well, here are some websites to bookmark that will help you plan the best fall foliage touring times:
ILoveNY Foliage Report
This is a really great site– well organized, and has a nice “foliage” map that changes with the season, highlighting the areas in the state that are showing their colors. ILoveNY also has an excellent Autumn Driving Tours site, for ideas on where to go the get the best scenery. I’m definitely checking this out!
New York Fall Foliage
A good Adirondack site with numerous articles and suggestions for drives and hiking. Also includes some information on other states.
Fall Foliage Tours
This is more of a tourist site, with ideas and links for dining as well as driving, finding lodging, and finding links to other related travel sites.
Enjoy this glorious season!

First time visitor. Really enjoy reading your posts.
I visited the Smoky Mountains last fall. It was beautiful, but having lived in New England, I am always comparing. I will have to edit that video and post it to my blog. But I do believe the color will be spectacular this year, having gotten lots of rain this year.
By the way, how is vistaprint compared to 123print for business cards?
