Early-season planning: Most fall foliage destinations are still in the pre-season stage. The 2026 outlook points to a slower start and a potentially longer color season across New England. Northern and higher-elevation areas change first, followed by southern and coastal destinations. Weekly color updates begin in mid-September.
