Fall in Virginia is a National Treasure

Do you know why Virginia is so magnificent in the fall? It's because 62.5 percent of the land is forested. So whether you want to take your fall-foliage tour in the mountains or countryside or along the coastline, you'll see backdrops bursting at the seams with color.
Let Virginia's Fall Foliage be your starting point this season for a brilliant fall getaway — and don't forget your camera!

Apples Ready for Pickin' & Navigating the Corn Maze

September begins apple season in Virginia, and your can pick your own at several farms and orchards through October.
Many farms as well as gardens feature themed Corn Mazes, where you can navigate through the maze with secret decoder clues, hidden passages, and/or trips up a ladder for aerial views. Kids love the adventure and are usually better navigators than the grownups.
