Why Take a Fall Foliage Tour?
When Fall Foliage is something you can see just by stepping outside your door, why should you pay to take a tour? When you use a guide, you’ll be privy to secret spots where the best viewing can be found. You’ll also learn a bit of earth science behind the natural process of turning leaves.
A guided fall foliage tour is one of the best ways to learn photography tips. Your guide will know the best times of day to spot wildlife, and how to use the light and landscape for the best photos.
It’s also a great way to gain insight into the surrounding area. Fall Foliage tours tend to be somewhat off the beaten track, exploring very small villages and towns in rural countryside. Your guide will know unique local spots for meals and accommodations.
Fall Foliage tours occur during the Autumn months, usually in the northeast United States and Canada. The longest season would be from mid September to late November.
The colors are typically the most vibrant during October and early November. However bear in mind that this is when prices and crowds will also be slightly inflated. If you like shopping for souvenirs and want a less touristy feeling experience, consider booking for the shoulder periods.
The weather will be much milder earlier in the season, around September, and quite chilly, perhaps even a snow flurry here and there in November. Do expect some rain during your tour.
