Interested in the fall foliage of years gone by? We’ve got you covered with our fall foliage archive! Here you'll find an interactive map depicting the progression of fall color throughout the United States during the period 2000 to 2025.
This is the only multi-decadal fall foliage archive in existence, and we pride ourselves on accuracy to the highest possible degree. Utilize these maps to analyze local trends in peak fall foliage timing, or simply compare the current season to years gone by.
The archive maps now use the same spatial footprint as our current national fall foliage map, making it easier to compare older seasons with the latest forecast map. Use the year selector and date slider to review how fall color progressed across the Lower 48 in a specific season.
These archive maps are estimates based on historical weather conditions and should be interpreted as broad regional guidance. Local conditions may have varied where drought, wind, frost, storms, or elevation-driven microclimates affected foliage quality and timing.
