Fall Foliage Predictions for 2019

If you are ready for all things Fall these are the best times for picturesque leaf peeping on your travels.

I've started to see a leaf or two changing color recently, but the full fall foliage season is still a few weeks away according to the experts.

And while the experts with SmokyMountain.com are breaking down the science of why leaves change colors and what compounds make them turn certain colors, we all really jut want to know when the trees will be the prettiest.

And that will basically be most of October.

While last Fall was a bit of a wash out, this season the best times to see the vibrate colors of Fall in Massachusetts will be from about Columbus Day through Halloween.

And we can thank the last couple of weeks for the beautiful fall colors.

With the wet, humid August we had in 2018 the leaves were able to stay on the trees longer leading to a short, but sweet leaf peeping season last Fall.

This summer we've had this awesome cool down in the last few weeks, which should result in a longer period of colorful leaves on the trees.

But don't wait too long to head out and enjoy it.

If you want lots of pictures with Fall foliage as your backdrop, make those outdoor plans for mid-October.

The longer you wait to get out in Nature, the more likely those leaves you want to look at will be on the ground.

And that's a whole different fun fall activity.
