With the upcoming fall season, this blog will be about the fall colors in different regions of USA I have visited. Fall season has a certain glamour but at the same time some melancholy is there in the air – a blend which always provides that mystique feeling to me. But I will not go for Top 10 list fallacy as in my view it is always subjective and I hate it when people dangle the lists as expert advice. As far as the time to visit, the fall season in USA is normally from the last 2 weeks of September to the first 2 weeks of October. But do check the regional fall foliage calendars in the websites of different Department of Natural Resources.
