We check the foliage so that you know where to go. |
You should get out today if you can, because fall foliage in our area is late in her peak. |
Many areas are past peak, although there are a hundred factors involved. |
I would recommend the more southern versions of both the South Shore and the South Coast. |
Our peak doesn't last long. |
The elements, like Saturday's windstorm, do not favor the leaf peeping types. |
People in SE Massachusetts already have the flatlander disadvantage that leaves us to seek out individual groves, trees, branches and even leaves... |
... but we do OK for ourselves. |
A nice Sunday foliage drive would not be wasted. |
Mattapoisett River, above and below... |
We rely heavily on Routes 105, 14, 36, 80, 228, 37, 18, 44, 14, 106, 58, 3A, 79, 140, 6, 28 and innumerable side streets. |
Interior regions generally and I repeat generally outdo the coasts until very late in the peak. |
Our peak does stretch into November. |
You see more played-out trees late in the peak, but you also catch the true peak of many slowpokes. |
Foliage and Thanksgiving are the last gasps of summer's shoulder season with tourism, especially on Cape Cod... |
...where my people will be going today. |
Parts of Cape Cod are just starting to peak, although some spots are past peak. |
Like we said, a few days make a great difference in foliage intensity. |
But if you want to leaf peep in New England today, we're your best bet. New Hampshire and company are played out like MC Hammer pants. |
While we hate to advocate such things, there are few better Bone Rides one can take. |
Lighting is key, and this Sunday is living up to her name. |
Our staff is very mobile, so we may get around the South Shore/Coast enough for another foliage article, but this is the last one scheduled for the region. |
We still have the Cape to do, and I can only do so many captions about leaves. |
We can't rule out a greatest hits article, we love site visits and our readers seem to enjoy these articles. It also gives us an Autumn feel. |
My favorite tree, it peaks around Halloween. Enjoy! |
