VIRGINIA
AUTUMN LEAVES
Leaf-Lookers Guide

Virginia's western mountains are known world-wide for their blazing autumn performance. Starting in September, the dogwoods, black gums and sumac start the symphony of color with their reds while the  sassafras join with their oranges. The poplars and hickories brighten things up with their brilliant yellows and the maple trees add their golds and reds. As the season progresses towards winter the color moves south with the birds until the colors finally disappear in South Carolina and Georgia.

Here are some suggested routings to best view Virginia's Autumn Leaves:

• Blue Ridge Parkway (George Washington National Forest)

• George Washington Parkway

• Great Falls Park

• Massanutten Mountain (George Washington National Forest)

• Shenandoah Valley

• Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park)

• Virginia Interstates (I-66 and I-81)

There are many communities with excellent accommodations for leaf-lookers in this area of Virginia. A Virginia map is available at VirginiaMap. Just click on the community of choice. A list of accommodations will then appear. Select from the list to make your reservation. It is easy to make your reservation and save money, too. (Note: We also list those communities convenient to the recommended autumn leaf-looker routes on each individual page.)
