Mountainsides and forests erupt in riotous oranges, reds and yellows. Town commons are blanketed in glorious quilt-like patterns. Country roads become tunnels of color. And throughout the region, there are plenty of ways for you to see lots of leaves. The states suggest self-guided driving and hiking tours.
Bus companies crisscross the six states.
Amtrak and steam train operators offer leaf-peeping tours. You can even see the foliage from hot air balloons and canoes. But there's more to fall foliage than the leaves. Towns throughout the region roll out the red carpet to tourists, offering church suppers, fall festivals, yard sales, road races, apple picking, pumpkin picking, county fairs and much more. Come join the fun.
