Planning Fall “Peeping”

It may be hard to believe, but Labor Day weekend is coming up, and then three weekends later is the first day of Fall on September 22, 2012. That means Mother Nature will begin putting out her fantastic display of Fall colors soon and for those who appreciate, here are some early tips on where to view.

Firt, here’s a handy map from Wikipedia that gives a quick view of the Fall color schedule across the United States:

And some links to locales and schedules to help you plan a long Fall weekend’s viewing pleasure. As you can see from the map, there is still time to plan since even the earliest leaf-peeping destinations won’t be “ready” for you until late September.

++ Top 10 New England Leaf-peeping Locales

++ The Foliage Network

++ The USDA’s Fall Color Hotline Numbers and Info

++ Blueridge Country Fall Foliage WebCams

The links from last Fall’s West Coast viewing post are still in effect, that resource can be found here.
