🍁 Want to catch peak fall color?🍁
Fall doesn’t happen all at once in the Appalachian Highlands. It moves—across mountaintops, through valleys, and from one destination to the next... And if you time it right, you can chase it for nearly the entire month of October! 👀
Our Fall 2026 issue takes you through six mountain destinations across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia, with the best dates to visit each:
🍂 Seven Springs, PA → Oct. 3–18
🍂 Tucker County, WV → Oct. 3–12
🍂 Bath County, VA → Oct. 5–15
🍂 Pendleton County, WV → Oct. 8–15
🍂 Highland County, VA → Oct. 10–20
🍂 Allegany County, MD → Oct. 15–20
Hike it. Bike it. Ride it by train, horseback, or chairlift. Or pack the car and turn it into one big Appalachian fall road trip.
