Fall Foliage Prediction Map

Leaf peeping season has almost arrived, and we found something to help you make the most of it. The Fall Foliage Prediction Map from the folks at SmokyMountains.com will provide you with a guide for where those gorgeous oranges, reds, golden yellows, and rusts will be appearing near you. Though not claiming to be 100% accurate, the map is based on an in-depth algorithm honed over the last 10 years that predicts when the leaves will change in areas around the county. The website also collects “real-time leaf reports” from users with a simple 3 question survey. For those interested in learning more about the science behind this magical time of year, you’ll find simple explanations for how and why the leaves change colors. So grab your pumpkin spice latte and start planning your next excursion to see the autumn colors!
