The fall foliage season could bring a striking contrast across the United States this year, with vibrant colors possible in some of the country's most popular autumn destinations.
The first signs of fall start to appear at higher elevations across the northern U.S. before gradually expanding south throughout the season.
Most areas will have peak colors between late September and mid-October, although the exact timing depends on location and varies from year to year based on the weather conditions leading up to autumn.
