Peak foliage has reached the higher elevations in eastern West Virginia and extreme western Maryland.  Elsewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, foliage color is high (61% - 80% change).  Other locations in the region are reporting mostly moderate color change (31% - 60% change) except for coastal portions of Virginia and Maryland and eastern North Carolina.

If you are planning a trip to see the foliage, it is advisable to make reservations now. Too often, travelers wait too long and often have problems finding accommodations. Please check out our Places to Stay and Foliage Spotters sections to find a great place to stay!
