The change of seasons is a special time for outdoors lovers, and the change from summer to fall is particularly resplendent in many areas of the country. Many people travel to enjoy fall foliage in beautiful places like national parks. If you’re hoping to plan a trip to enjoy the changing leaves and rich colors, SmokyMountains.com has a visual map planner/tracker to make it simpler than ever to get the timing right.

The tracker is an interactive map of the United States with a slider at the bottom. You use the slider to select the date you want to scope out for its potential for fall foliage. The interactive key shows seven different colors, ranging from green to brown. Each color represents a phase of the foliage season, from “no change” to “past peak.” Deep red indicates peak foliage.
Take a look at an example from early October here:
SmokyMountains.com says its 2024 Fall Foliage Map is meant to “help travelers better time their trips to have the best opportunity of catching peak color each year.”
