    Here's a little secret. A good place to visit fall foliage is at a local cultural garden, such as a Japanese Garden. The Japanese Red Maple trees are unprecedented in their flaming, red colors!

    Not just for New England - but my favourite place (next to Canada eh) is Vermont.

    Great pics! Suggestions... Perhaps you should rename the segment titled "Pacific Northwest & California" to something like "Northern California". Other than naming Washington and Oregon, you spent the entire segment detailing the NorCal region. Maybe a segment on the Mid-Atlantic states would be a good addition. The whole VA/MD/PA/WV region is AWESOME in the fall. And I'm not sure I'd put the Appalachian Trail in the Midwest. That's definitely an Eastern trail.

    The most beautiful place I've been for foliage is Arlington VT, near where Norman Rockwell lived. In the valley of the mountains at a curve you are surrounded by colorful wooded mountains on all four sides. It is absolutely gorgeous.

    Hopping over from my Colorful Fall Foliage in NJ lens to say I agree Massachusetts has amazing fall foliage. The state is one I've spent a lot of time in as my grandparents lived there, we vacationed there every summer, and when we travel to Maine, always pass through and look at some of the old places from my childhood there. But we're in a wooded part of NJ, it gets pretty here most years, this year we have to see how the hurricane and all the excess rain will affect things.

    You simply can't beat the north east in the Fall Time. The foliage of the Maple and Oak trees, traditional Oktoberfest in some places, the pumpkin and gourd harvests, not to mention the history of Halloween really got its start in the Northeast. California and Florida are to the summer what New England and NYS are to the fall and what Canada is to winter. I am actually quite surprised that the western states got noted for the fall season. I would hate to be in California during the fall.
  • mbgphoto Aug 24, 2011 @ 8:22 am | delete
    We plan our fall travels so I can see the colors of fall multiple times. Last year I first experienced fall in Nova Scotia and the eastern seaboard in late September-early October, then back home to Missouri to experience fall in Missouri and Illinois in mid October and finally a trip to Atlanta to experience fall in Tennessee and Georgia in November. Love this lens...stopped by to review places to travel this year and leaving a blessing here.

    This is beautiful Kiwi, it feed a longing in me to see the fall colors again. I love the wilderness of northern Minnesota where I'm from. The area has a lot of virgin land in the national park, and that is home to me, and God's Own Country. I know there are many places just as nice, but we all seem to have our favorite places in this world we live in.

    I'm originally from New England, and I have to say (biased as I am) that there's nothing like autumn in the northeast. But now that I live in Flagstaff, I really appreciate the beauty of fall on the San Francisco peaks, where the yellow aspens contrast so beautifully against the dark evergreen of the ponderosa pines and an occasional patch of red gambrel oak. e

    What a great foliage map! I've seen one for New England but not for the rest of the USA - and you make a jolly good point about it not being exclusive to New England - although they do have rather a lot of trees!

    I was in New England in the Autumn four years ago and was really sad I had to come home just before the colours turned properly!
  • Andromache Sep 21, 2010 @ 11:18 am | delete
    Great lens! Very informative!! The best fall foliage anywhere is in the beautiful and historic Hudson Valley. The patchwork of colors through the Catskills contrast to the deep blues of the Hudson River and make a spectacular display that can last for several weeks! For a great leaf peeping weekend, check out the Mum Festival in Saugerties, New York and learn more about the historic town of Saugerties at http://www.squidoo.com/saugerties-new-york

    Nice work. Sadly, many super-busy office workers fail to get out and enjoy the beauty just beyond their urban areas. Here in Wisconsin, we're relishing the change in colors--thanks for mentioning our fair state!--as many of us do every year at this time. It's a sight to behold.

    One of fondest wishes is to really get to see and experience fall in New England. I have never had a chance to do so yet and I'm just dyin' to go. I know it's not the only place, but I've seen fall in many other places. I figure I will get a chance to sooner or later, but that is definitely the spot I want to see the most.Beauitful lens, as always.

    Although I miss the east coast foliage changes (we moved away years ago), I think that here in Utah we come very close to matching New England's beauty. But after the fall colors we get the best snow in the world.

Fall can be one of the best times of year to see not only the northeastern states, but many states across the country, even into the southwest!
