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.

Fall Foliage Report for the weekend of November 14, 2019 from the Department of Forestry

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.

Shenandoah National Park

Look for live streams from Pass Mountain Overlook (mile 30 on Skyline Drive near our Thornton Gap Entrance Station which is located at mile 31.5 on Skyline Drive) on Thursdays, starting September 26. More Fall Information

Visitors can see current conditions and colors live through webcams located at https://www.nps.gov/shen/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm.

VIRGINIA'S BLUE RIDGE

Plan your trip to see the vibrant fall colors and foliage of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains! Seeing the autumn leaves around the Roanoke Valley and along the Blue Ridge Parkway is a favorite annual tradition for locals and visitors to Virginia’s Blue Ridge.

According to a variety of weather forecasts and predictions, it appears we’ll be experiencing peak fall color in late October and early November for 2019. Learn More.
