"We’ve still got a few weeks of summer left (technically) but I’m emotionally already in autumn. Which means that it’s almost time for one of the best seasonal activities around: leaf peeping! The crisp air, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin-spiced everything are just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited. The summer drought will impact the fall foliage, but don’t worry—we’ve got all the details on when and where you can catch the most vibrant displays. Plus, we’ve got some suggestions for leaf peeping destinations that will make your fall feel truly magical!"
