It’s the quintessential New England sight. The hillsides light up in brilliant shades of red and yellow as the maples, beeches, and oaks reach their peak fall colors. But that’s not all. All of a sudden, the low sun hits the hillside, casting everything in a warm glow, creating the ultimate welcoming and cozy ambiance.

However, there’s so much more to great leaf peeping in the Northeast besides the six New England states. As a result, you now have the option to add New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to this itinerary, as well as Ontario, Québec, and New Brunswick. With the expanded territory comes an expanded time window to view the fall colors. How long can you spend chasing fall foliage? I challenge you to find out.
