People from all over the United States and world descend on New England in the fall, searching for “peak foliage.” They consult their foliage apps, check online updates and ask the natives, “When is it going to be peak?”
Who really knows? You can only guess it’ll be somewhere around the middle of October. Many factors influence when it comes. Drier summers sometimes bring it earlier. Cold temperatures usually speed it along. Rain and wind can wipe it out too early. Sometimes, visitors get lucky and hit it at just the right time.
