NEW HAMPSHIRE FALL FOLIAGE
Figuring out the perfect time to catch peak foliage in
New Hampshire can be a bit of a leap of faith, but
here are some suggestions and tendencies that may
help you select the perfect time to see nature's
fireworks.
Each September and October people from all over the
world come to New Hampshire to see the fall foliage.
No one can predict in advance when the color will
peak; that's why we offer the foliage report updates
and change them weekly throughout the season.
Other than that, here are some guidelines:
First, about mid-September, mountaintops and the
swamp maples in the lowlands turn a flaming red,
though a few will have sent off a first volley of color in
late August. Some years, days will pass with little
change, then overnight all the trees seem to explode
with color so beautiful you wonder if it can be real.
Other years, the color builds steadily to crescendo,
changing each day.
Weather plays an important part in the process, but
with so many variables, no one can truly predict how
brilliant the foliage will be in any given year. However,
we can predict that from the end of September
through the first week in October, you can usually
expect peak color in the far northern part of the state,
while it can be anticipated in the southern part of the
state from the first week in October to mid-month.
