Leaf Peeping Season in North Carolina

red foliage in NCNew England may get the fame but North Carolina gets the glory of fall's magnificent foliage color display. North Carolina's Great Smokies have at least twice the color season as New England's famous White Mountains, according to Dr. C. Ritchie Bell, former NC State Botanist and founder of the NC Botanical Gardens at UNC-Chapel Hill. "If you want really a long season, lots of color, changing color, a tapestry of color, go down to the Smokies," he recommends on NCnatural.com. "There you've got many, many more species of trees involved and they come on in their own good time, you'll have six weeks, or more, of color."

Read our suggestions on where to spot North Carolina's best autumn color displays.
