You probably know by now that fall is my absolute favorite time of year and my favorite time to camping. But, it’s not as much fun when I go somewhere to camp and see great fall color only to find that I am either too early and only see a sea of green or am too late and the only color is on the ground where all the leaves have fallen.

That happened several years ago when I went to Vermont and found peak color has occurred the week before. There was still good color but considering I had driven several hundred miles to see it, I was disappointed.

So with that thought in mind I put together a fall foliage guide in 2007 that listed fall foliage hotlines to call and websites to visit for up-to-date fall color information in the United States. Last week I checked each of the website links and called each of the hotline numbers to make sure everything was still current and it’s a good thing I did. I was amazed at how many phone numbers had changed or were no longer valid and how many websites had changed.

So if you want fall color information for any state in the U.S. that has trees who drop their leaves and put on a great fall color show, check out my updated Fall Foliage Guide.

Happy Fall Camping!
