Autumn has officially arrived and fall color is picking up in the region. Much of northern New England, western Massachusetts, western Connecticut, northern New York, the southern tier of New York, northern Pennsylvania and northwestern New Jersey are reporting low color (11%-30% change). Elsewhere in the region, color change is at or less than 10 percent. Leaf drop is not a factor at this early stage of the foliage season.

If you are planning a trip to see the foliage, it is advisable to make reservations now. Too often, travelers wait too long and often have problems finding accommodations. Please check out our Places to Stay and Foliage Spotters sections to find a great place to stay!
