If you want to know when fall color is going to peak in your area, there’s a map for that.
The Smoky Mountains tourism site has made it easy to plan your trip to see the most gorgeous and breathtaking colors of the season. The website’s 2023 Fall Foliage Prediction Map shows the progress of the changing colors, county by county. If you are wondering when the fall color will be at its peak where you live this year, use the fall foliage prediction map!

The map is from the end of August through mid-November. According to the fall foliage forecast, early-ish to mid-October will be the best time for the majority of the country to see the green leaves change to those beautiful hues of red, orange, yellow and brown.
Most places haven’t seen much change yet, but those fall colors are on the way. Right now, the best areas for seeing changing leaf colors are in the Northeast, the northern parts of the Midwest and a few spots in the Rockies.

The fall foliage map will also show areas that are peaking or past peak, which is helpful if you’re making travel plans to the Smokey Mountains or east Tennessee.
Take in the crisp outdoor air and snap some photos!
