Where state foliage spotters report peak (New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Missouri), it has landed inside our ±5-day window about two years in three. An unusual summer or autumn can still move it further. Explore fall color around Apache County and across Arizona.
Fall color at Greer begins as early as October 8 in some spots and continues through October 30 in others — a 22-day window where you can catch peak color somewhere in the area regardless of when you visit.
