55 of the Best Fall Towns in the U.S. for Foliage
Meet the most stunning spots in America for leaf peeping.
No fall would be complete without pumpkin picking, apple treats, cozy sweaters, and, of course, gorgeous foliage. Mother Nature puts on a breathtaking autumnal show year after year, which is why so many rightfully call fall their favorite season. But if you’re itching to take your leaf-peeping hobby beyond your neighborhood this year—or just want the perfect seasonal getaway—you definitely need to book a trip to one of these beautiful small towns in the United States, known for their autumnal displays and views.
No matter where you live, there's a quaint spot just a hop, skip, and a jump away for your fall viewing pleasure. Soak up mountain locales—like Utah and Colorado—before ski season hits for primo leaf-peeping pleasure. Or get views and brews with a journey to the "Bourbon Capitol of the World" in Kentucky. Nature lovers of all ages will also thrive in picturesque places like Bayfield, Wisconsin or Taos, New Mexico.
From the California coast to New England and Vermont, these are the absolute best fall towns to travel to this leaf-peeping season. And for even more autumn enjoyment, check out the best fall foliage train rides across the country and must-visit fall festivals.
