Fall Foliage Report
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of year in Virginia, and traveling throughout the Commonwealth during this season can reveal an abundance of color. Virginia’s expansive woodlands, famously blue-tinged mountains, and rambling scenic byways are the place to be when fall foliage is at its fiery peak.

In the Virginia mountains, we can now begin to appreciate the stark beauty of the winter woods. The fall foliage show has almost concluded for the season. Remaining leaves are mostly variations of rust, and many have fallen.
Piedmont landscapes still have a few red spots, but most of the gold is gone. Eastern roadways still show some color from maples, oaks, sweetgums, and hickories. They look especially nice when interspersed with deep green pines.
