Whether you’re staying local or looking for the best foliage routes throughout the country, here are a few tips for planning an autumnal trek that’s filled with all the hues of fall.

Watch the forecast. Check fall foliage forecasts for the area you want to visit. These forecasts will help you determine when to plan your trip and what regions might have had the best weather this year for an epic foliage display.
Know your elevation. Higher elevations can have the best fall foliage earlier in the season. You can use Campendium to look for areas within specific elevation ranges. But don’t worry if you miss early peak colors, as lower elevations will change later in the fall.
Take a hike. One of the best ways to check out fall foliage is to get off the road. Hit up a hiking trail for a fully immersive experience where you can see colors that can’t be viewed from the roadway.
Go early. If hiking is in your plans, avoid the foliage crowds by planning your hike early in the day. This way, the trails won’t be as busy and you’ll have an easier time parking at the trailhead. Earlier in the day will also make for better leaf-peeping and photography.
Plan in advance. If you’re planning to camp or reserve a cabin or hotel, you’ll want to book your accommodations early as this time of the year can be busy, especially in popular fall foliage destinations. Use Roadtrippers to map out your foliage route and look for lodging along the way.
