California Fall Color Map

Click on the California Fall Color Map to find the location of reported color. We update the leaves on the page every Friday based on reports we have received during the previous week. The map is an imprecise guide and should be used in conjunction with written posts which are accurate to when they are posted.

To choose where to see fall color at peak, refer to Reports by Month/Year (for when you plan to travel) or Reports by Location (for where you plan to travel). Look back at past years to see when color was peaking and where if you want to plan a trip a few weeks out. California fall color peaks very consistently from year to year, usually within a few days of past recorded average peak.
