September 28, 2017 2:02 pm
Have you looked outside lately? The leaves are beginning to change colors and it won’t be long before parts of Virginia are decked out in their finest foliage! Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year in Virginia. Whether you are traveling along the Blue Ridge, exploring Southside or journeying along the Eastern Shore, you’re bound to enjoy the vibrant colors of the Commonwealth’s fall foliage.
Each week DOF provides a Fall Foliage Report. This summary of color, species and location helps travelers plan their trips around fall color in the state. In addition to weekly updates, you will also find suggested foliage drives to help avoid traffic during the season.
