Fall Color Season
October is the Parkway’s single most-visited month for good reason. Throughout the month, the spectacular transformation of our tree-covered mountains into a spectacular display of fall color draws visitors from around the world! In general, color changes gradually, beginning in the high mountains and concluding at the lower slopes and valleys. Many related websites are devoted solely to tracking color and determining foliage hotspots.
