We Built the Ultimate Fall Color Tracker. Here’s When Every National Park, Forest, and County in America Peaks.

After more than a decade chasing peak color across America, we built the foliage map we always wanted.

For more than a decade, Jim and I have traveled across America chasing peak fall color for our films.

Getting the timing right takes a ridiculous amount of research.
