If you’re wondering when the best time is to witness the beautiful sea of red, orange and yellow across the Southern Tier, here’s what to know.
With some areas of New York already seeing a prominent change of color outside, the best is still yet to come.

According to the Smoky Mountains 2024 foliage prediction map, the leaves should be at their peak color across the Southern Tier by Monday, Oct. 14, but will be at partial colors to near-peak colors by the beginning of October.
