For many Floridians, seeing the fall foliage takes careful planning. While we love our palm trees and sunny weather, there really is nothing quite like seeing fall in all of its orange and red glory. It’s easy to miss the vibrant colors by taking your trip too early to too late in the season. Should you go in September? October? Is November too late? Luckily, SmokeyMountains.com has released their 2019 Fall Foliage Prediction Map. They’ve been helping travelers plan their leaf peeping for 6 years. Here’s when and where you should go to see the peak 2019 fall foliage season.
New York, October 5th – mid-October
Around October 5th is when the leaves will start changing in upstate New York. It will last throughout the state until mid-October.
Vermont, October 5th – October 18th
Not surprisingly, Vermont has a very similar peak as New York. You’ll want to visit closer to October 5th to catch the peak, unless you’re visiting the most southern area of the state. That area should see fall colors until about October 18th.
California, end of October – mid-November
The fall foliage peaks at different times across California. It’s a large state! Up north the peak change will start around October 26th and should go to November 8th. The colors won’t peak in southern California until November 9th.
North Carolina, November 2nd – November 9th
The peak season for leaf peepers in North Carolina is a short one. The change will begin around November 2nd and peak shortly after around November 9th. You won’t want to wait until Thanksgiving.
Texas, November 16th – end of November
Here’s where you can enjoy a colorful Thanksgiving. In the most Northern parts of the state the 2019 fall foliage peak occur as early as Nov. 9th.
