These Towns Are The Best To See Fall Leaves In (And Near) North Carolina
It may still be in the 90s but fall is closer than you think! College football returns in just one short week (I CANNOT WAIT), tickets to county and state fairs are on sale now, and we know Starbucks’ fall drink lineup. I can (almost feel the chill in the air). I mean I did wear a jacket this morning, mainly because it made my outfit and it was in the 70s for at least my drive in to work. It’s something, and I’m holding on to it. So while it may not feel like fall, it’s time to start planning for fall. Thanks to the aforementioned college football most of my weekends and booked up. But I am looking to plan a fall trip. This is why I was intrigued by Country Living’s list of the best places to see fall foliage. And two of the best places to see those gorgeous, red, orange, and yellow fall leaves- are right here in North Carolina.
Best Fall Leaves In North Carolina
The list contained 55 towns, many situated in New England, where the colors are breathtaking. I frequently visit Asheville during “leaf season” and it’s always packed with visitors. While I’m surprised it didn’t make the list, a neighboring town did. You’ll find the two places with the best fall leaves in North Carolina below. You will also find four other spots that are an easy driving distance from NC. All six of these towns are located in the mountains of their respective states. And the mountains are one of the best places to truly immerse yourself in the beauty of fall.
So browse this list, and start making plans. Soon enough you’ll be drinking a pumpkin spice latte, looking at the leaves fall out the window, with College GameDay on in the background. Take me there now! You can read the full Country Living list here.
