A map from the Commonwealth shows peak foliage in various parts of Virginia this fall.
Virginia’s expansive woodlands, famously blue-tinged mountains, and rambling scenic byways are the place to be when fall leaves are at their fiery peak.
Virginia's diverse landscape, from the highest mountains to the Eastern Shore, provides a long fall foliage season, starting earliest in the higher elevations and moving eastward. Generally peak fall foliage is sometime between Oct. 10 and Oct. 31; however, dates can vary from year to year. Want to know when and where to see the best fall colors in Virginia this autumn?
