Though fall doesn’t technically begin until Sept. 23, you need to plan your leaf peeping trip now to see the leaves changing colors across the U.S.<\/p>\n

When planning a leaf peeping adventure, remember your destination’s altitude, advises an article in Blue Ridge Mountain Life,<\/a> an online publication that promotes the region. “Fall colors begin at the highest elevations in early October, and work their way down to the lower elevations in early November.”<\/p>\n

Each fall, various forecast tools<\/a> aim to predict the arrival of autumn foliage using data points such as historical precipitation and temperature data, leaf peak trends, observations and model outputs from previous years.<\/p>\n

Even so, foretelling fall foliage is tricky as no one can guarantee exactly where and when foliage will peak \u2014 especially with unusual weather patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, travelers can use these forecasts as a guide to plan their trips. Just keep in mind that the foliage may be a few weeks out of sync with any prediction map.<\/p>\n
